We work, so we earn, so we spend, so we consume. Daily. Because we work, we are able to purchase and so it’s all right to consume, because we deserve it.
But then we tend to forget something. What exactly do we consume then? Eventually we consume the earth.
And because the earth is not infinite, the amount of our consumption is not just limited to our amount of earned money from payed work. The installation should illustrate the fact that unless we earned ‘our/the consumption’, it has still got consequences, regarding the earth’s health.
I would like to make people (and myself as well) more aware of this. Don’t let the earth pay.
One can pull out the gasoline pump, and when the ‘trigger’ is pulled, Verdi’s Dies Irae plays very loudly. The counters on the screen will begin to run.
