“Nothing is so painful to the human mind as a great and sudden change.” (Mary Shelley, Frankenstein)

The title of these sculptural works refers to a historical event in 1816 – "The year without summer". A series of unusual weather phenomena caused an extreme cooling of the world climate, especially in Europe and North America. Today, the eruption of the Indonesian volcano Tambora is considered to be the main cause. This theme is taken up in the shower-gel-spewing sculptures and adapted to contemporary environmental problems. Climate change and the outbreak of the pandemic are confronting society with new challenges, but often solution efforts have to rank behind economic goals.
