AB - This essay reads an environmental art inspired by the city and its material afterlives as a crucial environmental text that bridges the gap between humans and nonhumans in the Anthropocene. As Anna Tsing’s notion of “arts of noticing” reminds us, environmental writer-activist helps us apprehend the causes and consequences of environmental issues, which are often unseen but inexplicably tied to the cultural specificity of local areas and ongoing political and social problems. In particular, I analyze how their environmental arts work to revitalize, or remake, the stories of cities as sites of community conversations and multispecies interactions, focusing on British sculptor Antony Gormley’s Waste Man project (2006) along with American photographer Andrew Moore’s Detroit Disassembled (2010). By closely reading the city as a living multispecies ecomuseum where humans meet and engage with nonhuman others such as trees, shrubs, moss, and even waste, the essay suggests that socially engaged environmental arts bring us close to the “unruly edges” of the Anthropocene and opens a door to a more-than-human democracy.
