COME ON IN, THE MAPPING'S WARM

Looks trippy doesn't it - that man splashing around above an underwater city?  I'll let you in on a secret though; he's not actually swimming above an underwater city - he's swimming around in a regular swimming pool! Yep, its a regular pool but it's had an aerial photo printed onto its sides as part of a publicity stunt for global climate change.  By literally challenging our perceptions regarding the water-level of the pool we are also prompted to consider our perceptions regarding the water-level of the planetI've seen a few maps on the subject and I'd have to say; this portentous peek into an apocalyptic future, does make me think!  (Though some of that thought is directed at the alterior motives for the installation) Click here first though to dive on in!
