Eske focuses on the balance between the fascination with disaster and the fear of it - be it a cataclysmic natural disaster, man-made or even a disaster on a personal level. He is preoccupied both with the historical, mythical, modern-day and artistic representation of man’s frailty. His painting, installations and ceramics is to be viewed as an outlet for his thoughts and reflections on the subject. In the course of his work, he has gathered material and documents relating in some way to the thought and themes that are the subject of his work. Some of this material constitutes the visual element of the book. He has invited scientists to contribute texts in order to offer a variety of inputs and outputs on the subject.
