For their PLASTISPHERE project, Güntzel and Scheibe scrutinized plastic pollution in a variety of works situated in Thessaloniki, Greece. Through interventions and performances in the city, where they, for instance, relocated plastic waste, the artists interacted with the inhabitants. >> Vimeo >> >> >>
“PLASTISPHERE/Thessaloniki deals with the very characteristics of the city of Thessaloniki, a place whose history and identity is clearly linked to the proximity to the Mediterranean Sea and emphasizes the responsibility resulting from this dependency.” (Artecitya) >>
