A New Heaven and a New Earth

Climate change and the environment are issues that worry many people today. Issues that not long ago, were overshadowed by economics and technology are once again at risk of being forced to stand back for war and compromised living standards – all while the earth, as we know it and our lives depend on it, is undergoing irreversible changes. Technological progress is slowly eroding our souls as living things are repeatedly forced to submit to technology – visions of future life on our backup planet Mars, seem as depressing as they are unrealistic.

The exhibition “New Heaven and New Earth” is on display in Katarina Kyrka, Stockholm, from September 7 to 28.
