Episode 1 - David Blandy

‘The World After’, a newly commissioned work and exhibition by artist David Blandy. Comprised of a film, installation and game, ‘The World After’ is a fictional tale which imagines a world after the Anthropocene era, a time in which humanity’s activities had detrimental effect on earth’s climate and environment. In this future world, human influence on the planet has faded following a catastrophic man-made ecological crisis, with those who remain having to find new ways to survive and form kin. Blandy’s project takes inspiration from the unique post-industrial setting of Canvey Wick on Canvey Island, Essex. 'The World After' was commissioned by Focal Point Gallery as part of New Geographies.
