Flooded House
BY JULIA E. DASER
How would we change if we suffered the consequences of our own unsustainable actions?
Flooded House simulates this scenario. Through Julia’s participatory artwork, she wants to emphasise the lack of accountability of high-income countries when it comes to climate change. More often than not, western countries are responsible for the majority of CO2 emissions, yet more vulnerable communities pay the price.
In her artwork, the user’s actions in the project determine how much their own home is destroyed by climate change due to ocean level rise. In such, actions directly equate to consequences. Through Julia’s project, she wants to foster empathy and create a sense of responsibility for our own actions.
