Multimedia specialist Uwe H. Martin and his partner Frauke Huber document the social and ecological consequences of agriculture worldwide, the hubris of mankind and its catastrophic consequences for the environment. In his lecture, he will present his works WhiteGold, LandRush and DryWest, the three major cycles that have emerged from the project over the past twelve years, showing how the artist couple successfully create nuanced and committed narratives with their Slow-Journalism approach. Agriculture drives climate change, species extinction, soil erosion and water shortage. How can we feed the world in the future without committing ecological suicide?
The lecture will be held in German.
