Pollution / Solution

2015 - 2016

POLLUTION, inspired in the detritus of our society that led us to the destruction of our nature due to the blindness of an illusion. ILLUSION that did not allow us to see beyond our own comfort.

The announcement in LIFE magazine that appeared in the August 1955 edition is very symptomatic, back when throwing away and discarding everything that was dirty was all the rage. We had reached the lack of sensitivity of the gods. To have to mind our own garbage came to be an implacable loss of our time; getting rid of our used objects was a sign of the modern times. Plastic had come to free us.

Over half a century has elapsed since that frivolous announcement, and we are now facing a monster in crescendo. The liberating plastic has all of us gagged, our seas have become sewers and the animals, fauna and flora suffer the implacable invasion of the chemicals and plastic residues.

How to escape from that thanatic future?
