Would anyone think of the penguins?
March 4th, 2008 | installation, sculpture
We all know about global warming, and many of us are working together to remedy the situation. 50graus’ installation is simple and to the point, which is elegant in its execution.
However, it is somewhat baffling to me that people need to see how climate change can affect penguins, whereas all the reports on how climate change can affect human lives fall on deaf ears. This is by no means criticizing 50graus’ artistic choice, but a commentary to what seems to be effective to gather people’s attention. (sort of reminds me of the public outrage towards the puppy-throwing soldier, while there are much bigger problems on hand… ) But I digress, photos and links after jump.
