What will future generations say when they talk about the world we left them?
A few words about The World We Left Them
What will future generations say when they talk about the world we left them?
Idan Wizen wanted to represent an intergenerational dialogue between the audience of today and the representation of the children of the future. Far from a pessimistic vision of the future, it expresses the urgent need to sound the alarm for the sake of our planet and the children to come.
Through this photographic series, he urges the viewer to understand that his actions and inactions have consequences in a future going well beyond his existence and that he has a responsibility to choose beyond his immediate interest.
The underlying question of this work is of course the irreversibility of our choices and our actions: will one day be too late to reverse the course of things and can we eternally put the problems to tomorrow?
