Under the commission of Norrtälje Konsthall, seven artists were selected to create works around the theme of Anthropocene. A therm coined to describe the new geological epoch that has evolved as a result of the heavy human impact on our planet during the past decades of industrialization.
Furbacken’s proposal was installed where the river meets the Baltic Sea, and at the intersection of the picturesque old town and the new water front skyscrapers.
