FLORAL IMPACT

„The Breed of the Future“ opposes mankind’s severe encroachments upon nature. Even without the depredations of genetic engineering, 22% of all plant species are in danger of extinction. With their passing, countless animal species which stand to lose their habitats as a consequence also face annihilation.

The same applies to genetic mutations arising from pollution. This photo sequence decries the implacable lust for profit that drives man to remake the face of nature, thus inflicting incalculable and irreversible damage. It can only be mankind’s obligation to commit himself to safeguarding and conserving all species which are inextricably interrelated to form a complex system. Once mankind starts manipulating this system he can only wreak havoc.

Fear of losing their jobs brings them to ignore their limits. From this point onwards they are faced with a breakdown. Life seems to lose its meaning. This photo sequence poses the question: how are we to manage our time reasonably and gainfully instead of letting ourselves be rushed and stressed by it.
