Xenia Marita Riebe's "Epigonians" are figures from newsprint
symbolising future people - former earthlings - who had to leave
their uninhabitable planet to live a wretched life on
a distant planet called Epigonia.

The Global Warming Art Project
This is the artist's interpretation of the global climate crisis. A collection of weather charts over the past 30 years served as material for a dozen of expressive figures. In addition to these sculptures she created collages and information panels. This project has been presented - among other locations - at the Head Office of the Deutscher Wetterdienst (German Meterological Office) in Offenbach near Frankfurt. Some life-size figures are there on display in the entrance hall permanently.
