The website goes on to explain: 'The sculpture ’Survival of the Fattest’ is a symbol of the rich worlds (i.e. the fat woman, ‘Justitia’)
self-complacent ‘righteousness’. With a pair of scales in her hand she
sits on the back of starved African man (i.e. the third world), while
pretending to do what is best for him.”
The sculpture however was
first exhibited in London, 2004 G7 meeting. On that occasion, it
apparently was to symbolize the evils of globalization and free trade.
In Copenhagen, 2009, it morphed into a new message about climate change
with apparently little need to change anything except the captions. So
the Justitia sculpture lends itself
to whatever we want it to be. So in 2011, I use differently the
sculpture changing nothing but the caption again.
The text below reads:'The
New Eco-imperialistic Strategy: Under the guise of eliminating hunger
in developing countries, they actually conspire to accentuate it.'
