Artist Franziska Fennert’s project, Monumen Antroposen, is expected to finish on December 2022. Funded by the Federal Foreign Office of Germany, the Monumen Antroposen is a project directed by artist Franziska Fennert and accompanied by artist Iwan Wijono, curator Ignatia Nilu, and architect Dhoni Yudhanto. The project aims to construct an enormous architectural complex which takes up to 6000m2 public land 100 meters away from the main dump site of the Yogyakarta region of Indonesia with discarded low-value plastic pressed into stones. According to Fennert, the project attempts to create a circular system for especially plastics and used material in general, and becomes a center for makers, artists and changes to the society.
