Tropique des Pyrénées

The world is burning both physically and morally. Carbon is increasingly consumed and with it the soul of humanity. Miracle, abundant and cheap energy is the basis of our system.

The God of growth is seductive with his promises of opulence but the earth is bloodless and we are hurtling faster and faster towards the wall of reality. The dream becomes a nightmare. We rub shoulders with the tropical American city in these photos every day. A Hollywood setting. Habit, routine, the need to integrate into the system ankyloses our free will. The choices are limited, our contradictions numerous, but we can simply open our eyes.
