Environment and Toxics

It goes without saying that humans cannot live and have rights if there is no planet to live on.

It goes without saying that humans cannot live and have rights if there is no planet to live on. A clean environment is therefore essential for human health and well being, but human activity causing environmental degradation is compromising the air, water and soil we need to live. Pollution, rising air temperatures and sea levels, deforestation, unsustainable agricultural and fishing practices, destruction of ecosystems and loss of biodiversity, and overpopulation and overconsumption are profoundly affecting the quality of life of current generations. If these problems continue, their effect will impact future generations too.

The immersive installation by photographer Frederick Herrmann aims to make this condition of the so-called Gen Z tangible.
