Career

Since then she has been traveling the world to develop her work that documents the relationship between mankind and the environment. The focus of her work is to move past the human-centered era of today. Her artwork explores how, using intelligence and technology, our species can become a positive force for our planet.One Planet One Future 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 document fast disappearing environments, animal species and cultures.
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- in January 2016 was a precursor to a larger art event that opened on September of the same year at the Westbeth Art Gallery in New York.
One Planet One Future is a series of photographs and videos documenting Anne de Carbuccia's on-site installation: the "TimeShrines".

Her feature-length documentary film, Earth Protectors, was released in 2023. 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.
In June 2024 her 16 min docu-fiction Refugia, where life will persist had its Italian premiere at CinemAmbiente in Torino. Refugia takes place in Japan and is a poetic narrative which recounts the science of habitats that for millennia facilitated the survival of life on our planet.
