Anthoposeen is located in a gentrifying Shanghainese neighborhood replacing a former medical school with a shopping and cultural center. Inside the UFO-shaped structure is a one-way mirrored infinity room that allows viewers outside to see the viewers inside. The interior is filled with an array of laboratory glass collected from the site. Inside some of the glass containers are miniature hand-hewn observational sculptures inspired by the urban landscape. The artwork became a metaphoric time capsule that held the not so distant past.
