Toxic Temple - An Artistic and Philosophical Adventure into the Toxicity of the Now (Hardcover)

On the toxicity of the immediate What changes when we religiously worship the toxic? In this era of catastrophe, can a cosmic connection be achieved through a cult of pollution? Toxic Temple is an artistic-philosophical quest to understand the current parlous state of the world. We offer our inner contradictions and destructive lusts as objects of worship. We enter wastelands instead of new territory, leaving space for artifacts, expressing solidarity with the factual. We encounter colorful assemblages of things that connect the known cosmos, tread the shaky ground of novel divinity, inhale pungent odors that transport us to the sublime. Garbage dumps are the new temples. In a mania of sadistic composure we breathe in the here and now. Transformative forces are released, free radicals; rituals that expose the chaos that lurks beneath the surface. New transdisciplinary ecosophical approaches Multimedia art project with comprehensive documentation and numerous illustrations With contributions by Julieta Aranda, Heather Davis, Elisabeth Falkensteiner, and Julia Grillmayr, among others
