Greenpeace, performance, ongoing since 1995
Artist’s statement: „Our fascination of the technical civilisation and its clean beauty has changed our criticism into the alternative consciousness. Focusing on environmental issues, we don’t see the huge gap between the damaged nature with its irreversible degradation and our desires of easy and wealth life in our artificial environment. More ↓↑
We need more and more new sources of energy for pleasure. Only can it be taken from the nature. The last actions of Greenpeace disclose a very sad truth that the institutions fighting for „saving of the nature” are transformed into the prosperous companies connected with economic, military and political lobbies. The world of the technical civilisation expertly create the new „ecological correctness” attitudes, which never call in question the main directions of the civilisation development. But the question is: what’s next? Do we have any chance to overcome our poor criticism?”
