About this book

Die globale Erwärmung konfrontiert Gesellschaften mit drängenden Fragen zu ihren Zukünften: Das Wissen um stetig steigende Emissionen und die wachsende Sorge vor katastrophalen Kipppunkten lassen einerseits auf einen grundlegenden Politikwechsel hoffen, andererseits fühlen sich viele Menschen angesichts ihrer scheinbaren Machtlosigkeit überfordert. Daraus hat sich in den letzten Jahren das Bedürfnis entwickelt, mögliche Zukünfte greifbarer und planbarer zu machen. In der Folge werden planetare Zukünfte zunehmend nicht nur erforscht, sondern es wird auch nach Möglichkeiten gesucht, sie zu beeinflussen oder zu fixieren.

Der Katalog zur Ausstellung Fixing Futures. Planetare Zukünfte zwischen Spekulation und Kontrolle thematisiert diese Bestrebungen, Zukünfte vorherzusagen, und analysiert das Spannungsverhältnis zwischen radikaler Unsicherheit und dem Wunsch nach Kontrolle. In einem Gespräch zwischen Ausstellungsmacher*innen, Wissenschaftler*innen und Künstler*innen, das sich schwerpunktmäßig mit Wetter- und Klimakontrolle, planetaren Umweltproblemen, Geoengineering und dekolonialen Zukünften beschäftigt, werden Zukunftsvisionen vorgestellt und die Bedeutung planetarer Ansätze aufgezeigt.

Die Ausstellung Fixing Futures. Planetare Zukünfte zwischen Spekulation und Kontrolle ist vom 5. April bis 31. August 2025 im MGGU – Museum Giersch der Goethe-Universität, Frankfurt am Main, zu sehen.

--

Global warming is confronting societies with urgent questions about their futures: knowledge of constantly rising emissions and growing concern about catastrophic tipping points lead to hopes for a fundamental change in politics on the one hand, while on the other, many people feel overwhelmed due to their apparent powerlessness. In recent years, this has led to a growing need to make possible futures more graspable and predictable. As a result, not only has research into planetary futures increased, but also the search for ways to influence or 'fix' them.

This catalog accompanying the exhibition Fixing Futures. Planetary Futures between Speculation and Control explores these attempts to predict futures and analyzes the relationship between the opposing poles of radical uncertainty and the desire for control. In a conversation between the exhibition organizers, scientists, and artists that focuses on weather and climate control, planetary environmental problems, geoengineering, and decolonial futures, visions of the future are mapped out and the importance of planetary approaches emphasized.
