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.
