Abstract

Amanda Boetzkes' book, "Plastic Capitalism: Contemporary Art and the Drive to Waste," explores the relationship between waste, global capitalism, and contemporary art. The book discusses various artists who use waste and ecological consciousness as themes in their artwork, challenging the capitalist system and exploring the relationship between waste, value, and the environment. The author analyzes different artistic representations of plastic and examines how they reflect on the impact of plastic on global systems and human subjectivity. The artworks raise questions about our relationship with waste and the possibility of dwelling differently in a future dominated by plastic, emphasizing the importance of art in provoking reflection and awareness about the ecological crisis caused by plastic.
