Title
Description
Olafur Eliasson's "Ice Watch" is a public artwork that brings large blocks of glacial ice to urban environments. The installation consists of icebergs harvested from melting ice sheets, arranged in a public space. As the ice melts, it offers viewers a direct, visceral experience of climate change and its tangible effects. "Ice Watch" aims to raise awareness about the urgency of climate action and to foster a sense of connection with the changing Arctic landscape. The temporary nature of the installation underscores the ephemeral nature of the ice itself and the pressing need to address global warming.
