“Living on the planet means something different than it used to.”

Nicolas Bourriaud is a world-renowned curator and critic who has been at the forefront of critical discourse in the contemporary art scene since the 1990s. He believes that as the severity of natural events accelerates year by year, it is art that should be the focus of human attention, because it is only through the work of artists that we can most effectively realise the situation we are in. The book includes works by several artists who have chosen the climate crisis as a motif, introducing their unique approaches and themes. It also goes beyond the general concept of the sublime, distinguishing the meaning of the sublime by time and the occurrence of disasters, and is organised into two parts to elaborate on the meaning of the (new) sublime.

Everyday Practice designed the book using atypical forms of typography and complementary contrasting colours to visualise the ‘stimulation of the senses’ sought by the art of the Romantic sublime.
