Edited with text by Adriano Pedrosa, Guilherme Giufrida. Text by Clarissa Tossin, Elena Shtromberg, Jennifer L. Roberts, Marcela Guerrero.
Building objects with discarded items, plant parts and even her own body, Tossin’s mixed-media works make the disasters of climate change a reality
Instead of portraying environmental catastrophe, Brazilian artist Clarissa Tossin (born 1973) seeks to incorporate its materiality, making artistic production from the residues of a collapsed world. The titular expression in this case refers to the moment in history when the effects of climate change will no longer be reversible.
