SUSTAINABILITY & EXTINCTION – audio-visual installation in four parts
Sustainability & Extinction: The project reflects on urgent matters concerning our lifestyle, throwaway society and cultural intolerance/ignorance. It discusses in which directions the world will possibly develop, which relationships/communities are about to be created in context to different perceptions of environmental sustainability and climate change.
What does it mean to protect and keep things how they are? Is it necessary to destroy, to form something new? SUEX creates an immersive platform to distinguish a change of thinking, a shifting of accommodated world conception. The viewer is suddenly confronted with language barriers (in the sound composition) and an “unwanted” identification with thoughtless consuming pattern in the video images that address the importance of nature as the main source of life.
