Julia Kukkonen: How to hug an evaporating tree or keep on dancing until the sunset / stoic exercises for the world鈥檚 end
It all started from the internalization of the current estimate that 鈥渄ue to the climate change the humankind has only a 50 percent chance of survival to the next century on this planet.鈥� The world I know and so deeply love is dying and we are dying with it.
The process has emerged from the need to deal with the grief and hopelessness that arise from this finality and lost futures. How to face the death of Earth, our mutual home, or the extinction of humankind. I am pondering what matters when we are looking at the end in the horizon or on the other hand, if there is something I could do. How can an individual help the planet, the humankind, or themselves? How to keep on living a good life on a dying planet? The works - the text, photographs, video performances, sculptures 鈥� are an opening for the grief through which hope and solutions can eventually be found.
