Summary:
Die spekulative Erzählung AFTER ABUNDANCE imaginiert eine durch den Klimawandel veränderte Alpingesellschaft, in der menschlicher Erfindungsgeist und Solidarität der Schlüssel zum Überleben sind. Das Werk zeigt, wie lokale Gemeinschaften diesen neuen Herausforderungen mit Traditionen und Technologien unter Einsatz von handwerklichem Geschick und Einfallsreichtum begegnen, um sich in der veränderten Umgebung weiterhin zu entfalten. In der Begegnung mit Experimenten, rechtlichen Kunstgriffen, Protesten und Performances werden die LeserInnen eingeladen, sich in das Leben von Menschen einer möglichen Zukunft hineinzuversetzen. Der österreichische Beitrag zur 2. London Design Biennale gibt auch Einblick in die Arbeit von Studio Design Investigations unter der Leitung von Anab Jain, Universität für angewandte Kunst Wien.
The speculative narrative AFTER ABUNDANCE imagines an Alpine society altered by climate change, in which human ingenuity and solidarity are the keys to survival. The work shows how local communities confront these new challenges with traditions and technologies using craft skills and resourcefulness so that they can continue to develop in their altered surroundings. This encounter with experiments, legal devices, protests and performances invites readers to empathize with the lives of people in a possible future. The Austrian contribution to the 2nd London Design Biennale also gives insight into the work of Studio Design Investigations under the direction of Anab Jain, University of Applied Arts Vienna.
