27kilos
We would like to tell you about a project we completed last year.
27 kilos is the amount of CO2 emitted by each person in the UK ever day.
“We wanted to make a personal connection between global warming and our daily lives.”
The installation consists of 27 columns formed from blankets, placed in the gallery space. Each column represents the volume of 1 kg CO2, the gas responsible for global warming. 20% of each column is in a slightly darker colour. This area represents the sustainable level of CO2 emissions averaged out worldwide. The disparity between current emissions and the sustainable level reinforces the urgency to reduce individual emissions.
