Our planet has been rendered permanently toxic. The way humans produce energy – no matter how “clean” the source – always leaves traces. Feral relics of nuclear energy, for instance, will metabolize in the soil, water, living organisms or built environment for thousands of years. And as we cannot rely on solid material or political boundaries anymore, we need to accept the situation of complexity, impurity and artificiality as a point of departure for any action.
