“Is plastics our world or are we the world of plastics?”
This is the message brought by artists from Tòhe through their works to evoke thoughts about the value of plastics – originally an important invention of humanity. Excessive plastic use has caused negative consequences to our living environment.
Six giant artworks made from tens of thousands of used plastic materials are being displayed in the exhibition “Plastic Planet” at Vincom Center for Contemporary Art (VCCA), bringing the message of raising awareness regarding plastic usage to limit its negative impacts on the environment.
The artwork “Vortex” (4.5m high) is assembled from hundreds of used plastic materials.

“Comfort Zone” is an installation using paintings by young artists, including those of children with autism
Through tens of thousands of used plastic materials, collected and contributed from everywhere, the exhibition opens unlimited views of life and of the relationship between human and nature, between people and people, and between people and themselves, in which plastics is an inherent part which cannot be denied. From that, encouraging the public to limit the consumption of disposable plastics, become more conscious in using plastics and cherish our living environment.
