Biography
Anne de Carbuccia was a student of anthropology and art history at Columbia University.[3] During her studies she developed her interest in the concept of human beings as a new geological force: Anthropocene.[4][5]
Since then she has been traveling the world to develop her work that documents the relationship between mankind and the environment.[6][7]
She lives and works between Milano and New York City.

Major work
One Planet One Future[8] is Anne de Carbuccia's ongoing artistic project that documents human caused threats to the environment.
On her numerous expeditions, Anne de Carbuccia travels to powerfully document fast disappearing environments, animal species and cultures.[9]
Her work is both a reminder of the urgency to change individual behaviors and a plea to re-imagine the future.
Her exhibition at the Museum of Oceanography in Montecarlo- WATER AT DUSK[10]- in January 2016 was a precursor to a larger art event that opened on September[11] of the same year at the Westbeth Art Gallery[12][13] in New York.[14]
One Planet One Future is a series of photographs and videos[15] documenting Anne de Carbuccia's on-site installation: the "TimeShrines"[7]
She draws inspiration from 16th- and 17th-century vanitas art and meticulously creates time shrines reminiscent of still-life paintings of that period, which generally featured a skull and an hourglass. “These are symbols of time, not death, and I build shrines to time. They are static installations in a natural lively environment,” she explains, pointing to the transient nature of human existence and the resilience of the earth."
— Luisa Zargani[14]
Main themes are:
- Water
- Endangered species
- Endangered environments
- Endangered cultures[9]
In 2016 Anne de Carbuccia established the One Planet One Future Foundation.[16][17][18][19] Anne de Carbuccia has also written and directed One Ocean, a short film that had its worldpremiere at the 75th Venice International Film Festival in September 2018.[20][21][22][23][24][25]
Her new feature-length documentary film, Earth Protectors,[26][27] was released in February 2024. From Siberia to the Amazon her narrative recounts the stories and the diversity of seven young Earth Protectors that are living on the front lines of our changing planet. The film tells us that we need to adapt as a species to the Anthropocene and that everyone can choose to become a positive geological force.
She is currently working on a short docu-fiction Refugia and a mixed media art series Follow the Thread.
