Plastiglomerates, surveillance robot dogs, fordite, artificial grass, antenna trees, Sars-Covid-2, decapitated mountains, drone-fighting eagles, standardised bananas… each of these specimens are symptomatic of the rapidly transforming “post-natural” era we live in. Often without us even noticing them, these creatures exponentially spread and co-exist with us. ‘A Bestiary of the Anthropocene’ seeks to capture this precise moment when the biosphere and technosphere merge and mesh into one new hybrid body. Equally inspired by medieval bestiaries and observations of our damaged planet, ‘A Bestiary of the Anthropocene’ is a compilation of hybrid creatures of our time. Designed as a field handbook, it aims at helping us observe, navigate, and orientate into the increasingly artificial fabric of the world.
