Description: Everything is changing but everything is also exactly the same. Ingken can t ignore it: ice caps stained brown from forest fires pipeline construction drought the whole world somehow persists despite the slow erosion of stability. After a trip to Paris Ingken returns home ready for a break from drugs. Their supportive partner Lily is flushed excited about a new connection she's made. Although Ingken wants to be happy for her there's a discomfort they can t shake. Sleepless nights fill with an endless scroll of images and headlines about climate disaster. A vague dysphoria simmers under their skin; they are able to identify that like Lily they are changing but they re not sure exactly how and at what pace. Everyone keeps telling them to burn themself to the ground and build themself back up but they worry about the kind of debris that fire might leave behind. Nino Bulling's artwork is immediately familiar. Like a conversation with a good friend their story is told as quiet as it can be loud. Crowds and landscapes squiggle in expressive black and white. Red cuts through panels with energy and persistence bringing life to what might seem dead. In its most intimate moments Firebugs asks what it means to transition in a transitioning world.
