Abstract
Through a critical analysis of Nikolaus Geyhalter's film Erde [Earth, 2019], and in dialogue both with theories of realist aesthetic praxis and with Mark Fisher's concept of a capitalist realism, the article examines the complexities and different political valences of an 'Anthropocene Realism'. In addition to thematic aspects of the film such as the conjunction of the Anthropocene and extractivist activity with matters of gender and race, the argument presented here places special emphasis on the question of how the radical epistemological, conceptual and aesthetic challenges of a proliferating Anthropocene discourse can be met through new forms of representation that go beyond merely reiterating, in purely mimetic fashion, that the Anthropocene simply is.
