The Bio Bio SUV art project, created by Sebastian Jung and the research group flumen, delves into the critical issue of climate change and explores the potential role of the bioeconomy in addressing it. The project begins with Sebastian Jung's series of drawings depicting a car stunt show, which serve as the foundation for the artistic research. An eight-person think tank then outlines the possibilities and limitations of a new economy, shedding light on the potential of bio-based raw materials to mitigate climate change.

In the interventions "Jeder Vogel hat ein Auto" (Every Bird Has a Car) and "Die Pinguine am Starnberger See sind beinahe ausgestorben" (The Penguins on Lake Starnberg Have Almost Become Extinct), Sebastian Jung focuses on the human perspective of nature and home. Through his artistic creations, he elicits productive irritations and encourages viewers to engage with them, fostering a deeper understanding of the interconnectedness between humans and the environment.

The project also features a collection of essays by various authors, including Viola Bronsema, Dennis Eversberg, Holger Gerdes, Alex Giurca, Franz-Theo Gottwald, Christiane Grefe, Rafaela Hillerbrand, Sebastian Jung, Zoritza Kiresiewa, Monica Navas Males, Sophia Pietryga, and Ulrich Schurr. These texts provide diverse perspectives and insights into the challenges and opportunities associated with climate change and the bioeconomy.

The Bio Bio SUV art project serves as a powerful platform for raising awareness about the urgent need to address climate change and promote sustainable practices. Through its interdisciplinary approach, it encourages viewers to think critically about the role of the bioeconomy in creating a more sustainable future and encourages them to take action in their own lives.
