Un examen des questions soulevées par l'œuvre de l'artiste Rikke Luther entre 2015 et 2025, qui explore les effets à long terme de cette ère d'effondrement, ainsi que leur impact sur les ordres sociaux et la stabilité du système terrestre.
We Lost Control Again recounts the twentieth-century attempt to construct an international political and aesthetic order in the wake of war, and what remains of that Babelian architecture today.
The twentieth century bequeathed a cross-national political and legal architecture, cemented in place by the United Nations. Ideological differences were overlaid with an assumption of progress and a universalising aesthetic of 'concrete Modernity'. However, as communism collapsed, and a digital communication and control systems took root, neo-liberal hostility to the Enlightenment values underpinning Western democracy and the rules-based international order swelled. As the aesthetic and political architectures of Modernity have retreated, the means through which planetary heating and species extinctions might be addressed have faded rapidly.
