A new installation by Maria Cristina Finucci - artist and president of the Garbage Patch State - opened in Milan during Salone Del Mobile in Milan (remains open until April 19th).
The Help the Planet, Help the Humans installation,part of the Human Spaces event exhibition, has been created using two tonnes of plastic bottle caps contained in red net food bags placed inside PoliMac cages by Officine Maccaferri, to spell out the word HELP, as if it were a cry from humanity in order to curb the environmental disaster of the pollution of the seas, currently underway.
This is the third time that Maria Cristina Finucci has launched a desperate cry for help, after the performance Help in Rome at the Roman Forum (2018) and on the island of Mozia in Sicily (2016). The artist states: "During these years in during which I made installations in various parts of the world to denounce plastic in the oceans, my project has been transformed and is not limited to the impelling environmental issue, but places it at the center the individual and the whole life on the planet."
