Text by Vanina Saracino The era we live in is often referred to as the Anthropocene, which translates from Greek as the “age of humans”. It is a time when our actions, our systems, our debris, shape the environment with more force than tectonic shifts, and with more violence than climatic or biological processes, with consequences that are difficult to predict and even harder to redirect. Espen Tversland’s In violent silence horror is born turns to this condition and reflects on the responsibility humans bear today; essentially, on what it means to be human.
