Ice Watch 3 Favorite 

From Public Delivery:

For Ice Watch (2014), he extracted 30 blocks of glacial ice from the waters of Greenland and in 2018 strategically placed them in front of Tate Modern in London . The ice was left here to melt. Ice Watch was to inspire public action against climate change, advocating for a rapid public response.

The meaning
This artwork was known as Ice Watch because he wanted the people to watch ice as it melted in public. It was a temporary installation that was meant to serve as an explanation and a reminder of the impacts of climate change.

Eliasson believed that the ice was beautiful, and you can smell it, touch it, and essentially lay your hands on it to witness the cooling and the melting. Touching the ice is like touching Greenland, making people have an emotional connection with the environment.

You get a clear picture of what they say when they are talking about the climate in Greenland. He explained that the ice would give people a sense of what he means when he says the Greenland ice caps are melting.

The artist thought that his artwork would spark an emotional connection between the public and otherwise unemotional things. He aimed to encourage big players, including the government and the appropriate department, to act accordingly. Furthermore, he wanted to initiate a discussion in the private and public sectors and give them a reason to work and protect the environment.
