Exhibition 23/10 – 4.12.2026
Nanoplastics in our brains, plastic in the Arctic. Our practical, durable helper is everywhere, and production volumes are increasing. As a product of the fossil industry, plastic harms nature as waste and through its breakdown products.
Heike Krause (TrashmaidBerlin): MASTERS OF THE UNIVERSE, 2025, Berlin, black plastic waste from streets and beaches, used cardboard, flea market frame, 54 cm wide x 79 cm high
and our bodies with nano- and microplastics. Recycling does not work. We must reduce its volumes worldwide and switch to safe materials.
What does this mean for people, and what can we do? Who is actively addressing the problem?

Approaches to action to counteract the paralysis in the face of the plastic crisis’s scale:
“Plastic-free food for all!” – This is called for by the civil society alliance Exit Plastik in a petition to the German government in the interest of our health protection. Because micro- and nanoplastics as well as chemicals from plastic packaging can transfer into our food – and thus into our bodies. Plastic-free shopping must not be a luxury: it must be accessible and affordable for everyone. Watch the campaign video and sign the petition here: https://exit-plastik.de/lebensmittel-ohne-plastik/
