Hot or not - looking for the impossible image

We are all being heavily bombed with pictures and stories about climatic changes, empty oceans or deglaciation. We all seem to experience together the big adventure of interpreting the world. But this creature is far too big and complex for the human perception. What kind of imaginations does that create in us? Can we feel the climatic change?

In his presentation he will not only try to give a short introduction to his recent works but also show some ideas and projects which are still in progress.
