future generations
With the photographic series Future Generations, Cristina Burns imagines a near future in which, after exhausting natural resources and driving ecological collapse, humanity relies on insects for food—sugar-coated and marketed to make necessity feel like desire. The work shows how eating has become the stage for destructive, profit-driven systems. Using the seductive polish of advertising, Burns exposes how the ultra-processed food and sugar industries normalize this trajectory. Future Generations invites critical reflection on the costs of unsustainable consumption and the world we are leaving to those who will inherit it.
