We build contemporary culture on the stone ruins of ancient peoples. We wallow in the sweet life, in abundance and waste. We live in ruin and leave behind a cultural landscape of floating space debris, floating plastic islands and buried nuclear waste. So let us remember the present, the here and now, and make ourselves aware:
Waste is our downfall, and yet it can be salvation.
Over two million tons of food waste from industry, agriculture, gastronomy and private households are produced in Switzerland every year - that's around 3/4 kg per person per day. Parallel to the overproduction of the West, there is worldwide hunger. This is a memorial in honor of all those who, with great physical effort and abstinence, make this luxury possible for us. This is a reminder to us all:
So remember and enjoy, the sweet life, the hearty meals, be boisterous and sociable!
