Martyrs of the Anthropocene by artist Timaeus (Tim van Hooft) questions the relationships between people and the natural world in the Anthropocene. A digitally rendered nature and the narrator regale a myth with novel heroes: lichen and trees. These protagonists are the non-human martyrs of our age, adorned as they are with minerals and crystals that are exploited as resources in a world dominated by humans.
