The Horrific Image of Climate Crisis

“Science describes accurately from outside; poetry describes accurately from inside. Science explicates; poetry implicates. Both celebrate what they describe. We need the languages of both science and poetry to save us from merely stockpiling endless “information” that fails to inform our ignorance or our irresponsibility"

- Ursula Le Guin, 2014

This project investigates the connection between the genre of horror and climate crisis. The result of the project is a publication that contains a Danish translation of Ursula K. Le Guin's speech Deep in Admiration in combination with a series of visualisations based on the climate concept Shifting Baseline Syndrome. It address the need of alternative representation and perspectives on the climate crisis that we are currently facing, but do not treat like a crisis.
