In an age of metamodernism, central to Pradissitto’s works is the juxtaposition between the power, technology and knowledge of humans to reverse climate change, with the lack of impetus and true perspective. In the epoch of climate emergency, Pradissitto’s works are of particular significance and contrast; the pure white of her materials work to absorb dark harmful nitrogen dioxide, which infuses our atmosphere.
Wall-mounted sculptures of Pan (2021) and Persephone (2021), are faces or ‘anthros’ in The Anthropocene (a proposed geological period in time in which humans have had great impact on the earth’s ecosystems). Pradissitto hopes to remind viewers that humankind once knew its position in a natural world we could not control, before our hubris as a species took over.
