What does it talk about ?
Soil is a scarce and non-renewable resource which is vital to ensure life on Earth.
In fact, living soils are needed to maintain the key soil functions: Food and biomass production, Environmental Interaction, Biological habitat and gene pool. Soil is also a source of raw material a cultural heritage and a Platform for man-made structures. Technical management methods of soils allowing the preservation of soil key functions are known or in development. What is critically lacking is the awareness of soil preservation for the general public and among stakeholders.
One way to raise this awareness is to touch the heart of people with art-featuring representations of soils/soil functions. Quite often, we realize how important is something or someone, when we lack it; when he, she, or it is gone away.
The body of our work is to develop a picture of how the world would be without soils. Our aim is not to frighten people, but to illustrate this loss, from a poetic and musical point of view |
