The Last Plastic Bag

Aina Lúa

Spain

In one of the many possible futures, regenerative and solarpunk societies have transformed their material culture, and single-use plastic is no longer part of everyday life. Archaeologists study our society as the last stage before the Great Transition, through the plastic remains we left behind.

The Last Plastic Bag is a fictional archaeological artefact presented as a museum specimen from the Anthropocene. It proposes a simple act of hope: imagining that something we consider unavoidable could one day become obsolete.
