about

The image of polar bears stranded on melting ice floes while tourists on luxury cruise liners take their obligatory photographs, is symbolic of both environmental destruction and the underlying materialism of a growth model that is leading to irreversible climate change. But capitalism isn’t just destroying the polar bears’ environment, it’s destroying all the major eco-systems on which life depends, including human life. The band on the S.S. Capital is playing the last waltz, the singer echoes Ivor Novellos’ wistful crooning, the deckchairs are being rearranged and the ship is sinking.This time there are no lifeboats, only the Northern Lights whispering.
