Volume 5 of the Ernst Schering Foundation’s Publication Series
Climate change, environmental pollution, and world hunger—the negative consequences of our consumer society are omnipresent. But when we want to raise public awareness for such uncomfortable issues, laying out the pure facts or wagging our finger has little effect. The artist Pinar Yoldas has chosen yet another path. Through a change in perspective, she points out dangers caused by the plastics polluting the oceans while also creating a unique future scenario. The Ernst Schering Foundation in Berlin is proud to present Pinar Yoldas’s first solo exhibition in Germany, An Ecosystem of Excess. On display are idiosyncratic sculptural creations and drawings based on Yoldas’s interdisciplinary exploration of synthetic biology, preimplantation genetic diagnosis, and microbiology. Inspired by the discovery of plankton-like microorganisms that inhabit the surface of plastic marine debris and develop new ecosystems in the oceans, "An Ecosystem of Excess" imagines complex life forms that grow and thrive in an extreme, man-made environment. Pinar Yoldas’s Ecosystem of Excess is not merely a bleak vision of the future of our environment; it is a testimony to an optimistic belief in the renewal of all life.
