Time’s Up – No More Weapons

A vision for the final threshold

We live in an age of fracture. Never before has humanity held so much knowledge, creativity, and technological power—yet never have we been so close to irreversible collapse. This visual manifesto was created to portray that threshold: a critical edge beyond which indifference is no longer an option.
The image shows a world split in two:
on one side, life—dense forests, vibrant greenery, natural harmony; only a few weapons, still possible to eliminate.
on the other, devastation—burning cities, apocalyptic flames, clouds of ash.
Across the center, in red and white: “Time’s Up – No More Weapons”.
Not just a phrase. A warning. A moment of radical awareness: the time for denial, delay, and delegation is gone.
I created this piece for the event noweapon.world, a platform dedicated to dismantling all forms of systemic violence—physical, political, economic, symbolic.
The world depicted here is not a dystopian fantasy, but a mirror.
It’s up to us to choose which side we want to stand on.
This image is a weapon against weapons.
A wound that speaks.
A threshold between the before and the after.
We cannot wait any longer.
Time’s Up – No More Weapons.

Pier Giorgio De Pinto

1968, Born in Civitavecchia, (Rome). He lives and works in Ticino, Switzerland.
In many of his works, sounds, objects, watercolors and drawings, movies, functional architecture and interactive installations create spaces that develop a poetic and conceptual dimension through sensory perception, tactile experience, reflection and awareness. He is constantly seeking new ways of drawing the viewer into active participation rather than simply remaining a neutral observer.
