It all started from the internalization of the current estimate that “due to the climate change the humankind has only a 50 percent chance of survival to the next century on this planet.” The world I know and so deeply love is dying and we are dying with it.
The process has emerged from the need to deal with the grief and hopelessness that arise from this finality and lost futures. How to face the death of Earth, our mutual home, or the extinction of humankind. I am pondering what matters when we are looking at the end of the horizon or on the other hand, if there is something I could do. How can you help individual the planet, the humankind, or themselves? How to keep a living on a dying planet?
The works - the text, photographs, video performances, sculptures - are at opening for the grief through which
This is my manifestation for a living, healing, loving.

Julia Kukkonen -
How to hug a vaporizing tree or dance through to sunset
/ Stoic exercises for the end of the world
It all began with the internalization of the current assessment that "humanity has only a 50 percent chance of surviving on this planet until the next century due to climate change." The world I know and love so dear dies, and we die with her.
The creative process came about through the need to process hopelessness and grief over this finality and the lost future. How to meet the dying of our home, the earth; and how the extinction of humanity? I wonder: what does it matter if we finally see the horizon? Or: can I make a difference? How can an individual help himself to the planet, humanity? How do you continue to live a good life on a dying planet?
The works - text, photos, videos, sculptures - are a gateway to grief, which can ultimately lead to hope and salvation.
This is my manifesto for not giving up but living, healing, loving.
