Overdevelopment, Overpopulation, Overshoot (OVER) is een nieuw fotoboek die de overbevolktheid en consumptie van de mensheid vastlegt. Helaas met desastreuze gevolgen voor planeet Aarde. In het boek staan bijdragen van verschillende fotografen. Feit is dat alle foto’s direct bij je naar binnen komen. Krachtige beelden die de tragische tendens van 2015 kenmerken.
