Do you think of the world ending? How do you think the world will end? 

“It seems to me that the threat of the end of the world is only convincing if it is also terrifying, and that terror is an essential tool in the war on global warming caused by Capitalism, ultimately leading to our own extinction”, says Jake Chapman.

Since the dawn of time, humans have imagined, feared, contemplated and contributed to The End. Contemporary artist Jake Chapman draws our attention to a possible outcome where capitalism’s unchecked greed is the cause of our extinction and annihilation. As we stare into the face of the future, Chapman asks us, “What future are we leaving the next generation when global warming and animal extinction due to mass consumption will have changed the earth beyond our recognition?”
