Open Call „Endless Summer" for exhibition 15.10. -10.12.2021
The permanent high over Europe creates vacation joy at home and crop failures due to drought. Will the sensual desire for paradise be fulfilled? One enjoys lots of sun, always being outside and vacation at home. A hedonistic dream.
However, the climate crisis is felt ambivalently. "Higher fuel prices are felt immediately in the wallet, but climate change comes insidiously. "Heat deaths, devastation from heavy rains in 2021, fires worldwide from drought. In Canada, people are afraid of summer because of fires.
