The World As It Was Yesterday
Nordskoven
"The World As Of Yesterday" is an installation created in connection with the exhibition "Rite of Passage" at Deep Forest Art Land. The work is made of compressed recycled paper.
Paper is a living material, and as an extension of the forest, it breaks down, is reshaped, and is later recycled once again. In Anastasia’s work, the paper returns to the forest, its point of origin—allowing the forces of nature to reshape and transform our collective human footprint.
The work is unfinished and will evolve over time as nature breaks down the paper.
Title: The World As Of Yesterday
Year: 2014
Material: 3.6 metric tons of compressed paper scraps from book printing
