AS by Adrien Schryve
This art project aims to rethink the way we look at plastic and the legacy we leave for future generations.
This stone was made from surgical and FFP2 masks found in the streets of Basel.
They are an example of how we can valorize our waste.
Each stone is accompanied by a contract that obliges you to keep the stone for a period of 1000 to 120,000 years.
The idea is to raise awareness about the plastic problem and to find creative and innovative solutions for our future.

About the Artist
Adrien Schryve, born in France in 1987. With his move to Switzerland in 2012 he engaged in his first art projects. Since 2015 he lives in Basel, where he is besides studying at the Hyperwerk Basel active as an installation and performance artist.
His work is influenced by the bricolage movement, in which artists use any material they can get their hands on to create a work of art. A central element of his works is that they can be touched and experienced with all the senses.
Recently, he directed his creative interest on topics as pollution and the ecological crisis with his ‘Plastic Age Project’ that uses different materials found in the street of Basel to create precious stones.
An overarching theme in his current work is our collective legacy that we leave to future civilizations. He explores how we might better manage our waste and looks to the future, imagining that future generations might talk about our heritage as we do today about the Stone Age.
