Catalogue accompanying the exhibitions related to the project “Sustainable Propaganda” (Nachhaltige Propaganda), that confronted “sustainable development”, the main theme of the world fair in Hannover, Germany (June 1 to October 31, 2000). Under the motto “Human – Nature – Technology” the Expo 2000 propagated that threatening environmental, developmental and population problems could be solved by technology. Although science and technology are indeed named as “causes” of the ecological crisis, at the same time they are considered part of the solution.In “Sustainable Propaganda”,Ressler analyses the ideologies displayed in the Expo theme parks and presents alternative models of thought and action. The models for a sustainable future are thus exposed as domination strategies. In this aspect the project ties in with Ressler's project “100 Years of the Greenhouse Effect” which he carried out in 1996 in Salzburg’s Kunstverein.
