Illustration – Je mehr Autonomie, desto weniger Wissen und Interesse

Das Südtiroler Paradoxon: Je mehr Autonomie, desto weniger Wissen und Interesse
Il paradosso sudtirolese: più autonomia, meno conoscenza ed interesse”

Kernel theme of the illustration is the representation of the true meaning of independence. Aside from the beneficial side of it one needs to acknowledge also the detrimental sides resulting such an important event. That also means the loss of knowledge of the people who aren’t exactly the same as you, and the consequent interests in them. This illustration represents just that, in an easy to digest image one can see the happiness of reaching a strained goal but also the detachment caused by forcibly assimilating only one side of the culture.
