This spectacular monograph is dedicated to Wasteland, a provocative work denouncing the environmental crisis by Maria Cristina Finucci, an Italian artist with a strong international presence. Wasteland is a global work of art. It includes a system of installations and actions developed between 2013 and 2019 in various locations around the world, with the aim of disseminating a series of clues on the international scene that provocatively suggest the existence of a garbage nation, known as the Garbage Patch State. Finucci s work explicitly denounces the existence of plastic islands (the Garbage Patches) that contaminate the oceans. The book s striking photographic images are accompanied by texts by the two editors of the volume, who comment on and interpret Finucci s work.
