“I am Nature – Of Vulnerability. Survival in the risk society”
ROHKUNSTBAU 26 is dedicated to the deep existential uncertainties that have been triggered by the Corona pandemic for many people. The starting point is our relationship to nature and the instrumental understanding of nature shaped by ideas of omnipotence and its consequences. For a long time now, scientific voices have been increasing that put causal connections between climate change and the loss of biodiversity on the one hand, and the repression of the habitats of other living beings with the outbreak of pandemics on the other hand, into a fruitful relationship. The destruction of the natural foundations of life by humans, exposes humanity to the dangers of disease and death. Through fears in times of pandemic, people do not consider the responsibility for their own actions, but project it onto nature itself and the invisible dangers. Viruses that people cannot see, hear, touch, taste or smell destroy everyday life.
