Denial: "Refusal to acknowledge a fact that imposes itself from the external world."
– "The Language of Psychoanalysis", Laplanche & Pontalis
Despite all the warnings from scientists that global warming is a reality, the vast majority of the population continues to deny it and behaves as if nothing is happening.
In this piece, a doll is tanning, completely unaware that it is melting due to global warming.
At the back of the toaster, there is an LCD screen displaying real-time information via Wi-Fi, such as the number of carbon dioxide particles in the atmosphere, the number of forests burned in the last hour, the most polluted Portuguese city that day, the number of fire incidents in Portugal that week, among other live data sourced from Bloomberg, fogos.pt, and Openaq.org.
