On October 23rd, 2022, climate activists of „Last Generation“ threw mashed potatoes at the famous Monet painting „Les Meules“ in the Barbarini museum in Potsdam. The painting was auctioned by Sothebys in 2019 for an astonishing 110 Million Dollars and is owned by Hasso Plattner, one of the founders of SAP. So what has this action to do with climate crisis was my first thought, but after watching the video of the activists the punchline change quite a bit into “What is worth more, art or life?” I found this question very irritating, is this even a valid question at all?
