For me, the term "nature" refers to that which is greater than us. In the Anthropocene, we are increasingly encountering the ghosts that we called. We ignore the danger of sea levels rising even more rapidly in the future due to global warming. This will prevent us from correcting our habitual behaviour.
NEXT LEVEL SHIT makes this silent threat visible in Ahrenshoop by visualising a future rise in sea levels using distributed signage.
These light-reflecting signs are made of the same film that is used for traffic and warning signs. This material usually conveys safety in public spaces. Here it thematises our perceived powerlessness in the face of impending disasters and at the same time our need for reassurance.
