ECO 02 Urban Nature

The challenges facing humanity in the 21st century are greater than ever before in history. However, the ability of the homo sapiens to deny the undeniable also seems to increase proportionally to the problems. Happily, people dance with the remnants of civilization on a rubbish dump. And even if the fields reach to the horizon, there is no place left for nature. The fact that asylum seekers from the future are bursting into this world of all places is more than just a stupid idea.
