Actually, the title of our exhibition is not a hundred percent accurate as it rather deals with saving mankind than saving the world. If Alan Weisman's ideas of "The World Without Us" prove to be true, hardly anything will remind of us 500 years after humans have disappeared. Perhaps, there is still a little bit of time until then. However, who can stop this development and help save us is yet not completely clarified. The global multinationals? Politics, which is closely interrelated with them? How they act is largely only profit-oriented, interested in growth in consumption, quintessentially exploitative, opposed to humankind and to nature even more, short-term and random. Nonetheless, both of them must not be relieved of any responsibility in this respect; on the contrary: the pressure-from the bottom up-must grow. We are all called upon to help build a new system of values.
