The Origins of Value
After centuries of whale hunting, Iceland, one of the remaining three nations that still authorizes whaling, suspended unprofitable whaling in 2020 for the third year in a row. Since 2022 the whalers of Hvalur hf. started to slaughter whales again. What do we value, when it comes to nature and especially wilderness, and could we help to create narratives that would help not only to exploit it?
In the context of Goethe Morph* Iceland Sabine Scho and Matthias Holtmann created the publication Origins of Values, engaging with the encounters between humans and whales - whether in tourism or hunting - through photographs and poems.
