Ice Watch is the name of the installation signed by Olafur Eliasson, an Icelandic artist born in 1967, who decided to invade the banks of the Thames, in front of the Tate Modern, with huge blocks of ice. The installation forms the shape of a clock face that constantly reminds us that there are only 12 years left to try to reduce the devastating effects of global warming.

In the center of the City, outside Bloomberg’s European offices, there is another smaller installation with six blocks: this work is the result of collaboration between Eliasson and geologist Minik Rosing and debuted in conjunction with the opening of the works COP24, the climate change conference in Katowice, Poland.

It will be possible to view the work until all the 24 blocks that compose it are not going to melt, find other info here.
