What is Next Nature?

With our attempts to cultivate nature, humankind causes the rising of a next nature, which is wild and unpredictable as ever. Wild systems, genetic surprises, autonomous machinery and splendidly beautiful black flowers. Nature changes along with us.

People in Need Campaign

Every next nature typically parasites on some older nature, which as a result dries out and eventually vanishes. Only rarely this mechanism is made visible.

The Dutch charity organization Mensen in Nood (people in need) hits the streets with a remarkable campaign. People in need are posing with the typical attributes of consumer culture. The price of a designer handbag (32 €) is compared with the price of a whole week of food (4 €), The price a pint of beer (€ 4.50) with the price of 50 liter clean water (1.50 €). The pictures were taken by Swedish fashion photographer Carl Stolz.
