In December 2014 Jozef Wouters visited the UN climate summit in Lima. During these two weeks he collected 80 metaphors used to imagine and discuss climate change. These were translated into a booklet of images and distributed at the end of the conference as a ‘draft for further negotiation.’ In a correspondence with Wouters, Jeroen Peeters commented on reports of the climate debate in Belgian newspapers. How do we imagine a problem that remains hard to imagine? Artist book, blog and correspondence were the basis for the lecture-performance The Metaphors.
