Human diversity is a motor for positive change. But not for the diversity of our species, for trees and branches, for wild flowers, mushrooms and myriads of insects. Headword biocalypse. Our progress is their extinction. But their extinction is our end, too.
A great subject of our age, well regarded and ignored. Studio Eskamotage says: we can't help against big disasters, but we do a little bit. We will show you, what we do, what we plan.
If you read our artist statements, you will find out, that we highlight environmental topics.
For us, a tree is not a kind of wood but a living organism, who offers food, protection and space for animals. Headword Gaia. But some human beings think, that we will recover the air we breathes only by reducing our emissions not by planting new trees. Some human beings believe, that we better know, where branches and wildflowers have to grow. Yes? Headword biocalypse. Of course, we have to change our view of the ideal of nature beauty - if we want to change something for the next generations.
Deforestation, agrochemicals, exploitation, mines, toxic emissions, landfills, extinction, animal experiments, contaminated ground water ... these topics you can find in our projects. We all have to make allowances for our nature, even if it is irksome.
We speak about social injustice: where poverty rage, there grows ignorance and egoism, because fear is stronger than all.
A question: How much nature remains and what do we do, if our world is empty?
If we sell our works, we donate a proportionate amount to the NABU or WWF. Do not expect millions. We set signs. Many signs create a new image.
We have measured our values according to carbonfootprint.com. They amount to 3.05 t per year, mostly through heating and electricity. In comparison to the average values: Germany: 8,6 t, Europe: 6 t, the world: 4 t (rounded values). I encourage you to make the test as well, it takes only a few minutes.

Your Studio Eskamotage
Studio Eskamotage Studio Eskamotage advocates the protection of nature in general and animal rights specifically. We condemn all acts against such a spirit, including but not limited to excessive deforestation, agrochemicals and their side-effects, GMOs, exploitation of areas through mines, toxic emissions, landfills and animal experiments. Harsh reality makes such a statement necessary, which will form the basis of our proceedings. This announcement is part of our website since 2011.
