„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 inadvertent introduction of genetically modified (GM) plants extraneous to an ecosystem also poses a threat, as they crowd out and eliminate native species. 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.

The days when we went shopping primarily to fulfill the family’s basic needs are a thing of the past. Now we shop till we drop. Shopping has become an event – an end in itself, an intoxicating leisure activity. The motifs of this photo sequence give food for thought and encourage us to examine our own consumer behavior. Are we still self-determined customers or already long since remote-controlled consumers? Shouldn’t we sooner limit our wants to bare essentials? We cannot go on ignoring social and environmental sustainability in the long term without suffering the grim consequences such heedlessness brings.
