About Glacier Lament Instalación Artística

Lamento Glaciar é unha instalación artística sobre a perda dos glaciares. Pantone enumera catro cartas de cor para o azul glaciar, pero nos glaciares reais este azul é variable e dinámico. A medida que os glaciares desaparecen, este azul único tamén desaparece. Os tons azuis dos glaciares de Alasca foron mostrados e mesturados, e logo gardados en sesenta ampolas de vidro reciclado suspendidas sobre un lenzo. Cada vez que ocorría un desprendemento glaciar, caía unha ampola. Ao final da exposición, as sesenta ampolas caeran, formando unha pintura sobre o lenzo situado debaixo.

Unique Properties
There are four color cards in PANTONE for glacier blue. However, in real glaciers, this blue color is variable and dynamic. As glaciers are disappearing, this unique blue is also disappearing. We sampled and blended the blue color from glaciers in Alaska and hung them in recycled glass vials. When one glacier calving happened, one color vial fell down. At the end of the exhibition, all 60 vials fell down, forming a painting on the canvas beneath.

Inspiration
Glaciers are sentinels of climate change. They are the most visible evidence of global warming today. This series of works embodies the stunning beauty, rapid change, fragility, destructive power, and magnificence of glaciers. At the same time, they challenge the audience with the dramatic, irreversible ecological damages from climate change.
