Only Geology Lasts
InstallationOnly Geology Lasts is an installation for which more than 15,000 expired plastic water bottles have been reused, creating a dystopian landscape to walk through.
It aims to reflect on a possible future in which the environment, as we know it, will have completely changed and we will have to cross geographies of plastic and lakes of salt crystals.
Likewise, Only Geology Lasts aims to imagine the possible effects of climate change, it is an indefinite landscape that can recall the melting of polar ice or refer us to any of the desert areas of the globe, represented through the central salt lake. These two scenarios shed light on the interconnection between problems and solutions that represent global environmental challenges.
The intervention can focus mainly on two of the Sustainable Development Goals, number 12: Responsible consumption and production and number 13 Climate action. And that is why it questions us about the role we play in climate change linked to our consumption processes. In a global world, where production and consumption are two sides of the same coin, where everything is interconnected, Only Geology Lasts highlights the need for alternatives to traditional forms of consumption.
