The issue exposes the conflicts of interest that pit our desire to
preserve the planet against our dependence on comfort. Should we act
for the common good or protect our personal interests?
In the "privileged" context inherent to Switzerland, eco-anxiety is
soaring, and paradoxically, comfort is gradually reaching its peak.
Feelings oscillate between guilt, denial and the justification of
actions that contribute to the deterioration of our Earth, the ties
that bind us and our values.
Through interviews and surveys, the magazine gathers the current
concerns of subjects of various ages, the vast majority of whom are
Swiss. They answer the questions: "What are you afraid of seeing
disappear?" and "What comfort are you not ready to give up? A few
systems of thought are developed to offer a varied range of opinions.
One of them is narrated by a voice-over and a succession of images in
a VR experience. Moving posters highlight issues such as travel,
over-consumption and imports.
Capturing a world in corrosion, the project is to be understood as the
testimony of a preoccupied society.
