Back then I struggled with the question of how to visually represent a problem that eluded our senses. Caused by invisible gasses, the effects of climate change are felt elsewhere and elsewhen. Twenty years later it\u2019s much easier to show these impacts unfortunately. The science has been settled for some years so what I think we need now is images and stories that convince the person-in-the-street of the urgency and achievability of action, whilst also offering new visions for thinking about the environment and our place within it.<\/span><\/p>\n\n            \n              \n    \n            \n              <figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\">\n\n                              <a href=\"https:\/\/www.stocksy.com\/4191168\/piazza-san-marco-st-marks-square-underwater-venice-flood\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"buy_url\">\n                    <img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"682\" src=\"https:\/\/www.stocksy.com\/ideas\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/Stocksy_comp_4191168-1-1024x682.jpg\" class=\"attachment-large size-large\" alt=\"Piazza San Marco, St Marks Square Underwater, Venice Flood\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.stocksy.com\/ideas\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/Stocksy_comp_4191168-1-1024x682.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.stocksy.com\/ideas\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/Stocksy_comp_4191168-1-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.stocksy.com\/ideas\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/Stocksy_comp_4191168-1-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.stocksy.com\/ideas\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/Stocksy_comp_4191168-1.jpg 1400w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/>\n                      <\/a>\n                    <figcaption>\n            <a href=\"https:\/\/www.stocksy.com\/A_of_AU\/showcase?page=1\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"image-author\">\n              Adam S\u00e9bire\n            <\/a><br>\n            \n          <\/figcaption>\n        <\/figure>\n              \n      <\/div>\n  <div class=\"wp-block-column\" style=\"flex-basis:34%\"><\/div>\n\n\n<\/div>\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns stocksy-generic-text-image\" id=\"block_e03582809e6a23379127e0b544e56a17\">\n\n\n  <div class=\"wp-block-column\" style=\"flex-basis:42%\"><\/div>\n  <div class=\"wp-block-column\" style=\"flex-basis:68%\">\n    \n              <p><span style=\"color: #7b7b7b;\">If other artists would like to get involved with the climate change movements or reduce their negative impact on the world, what are some projects or ways you would suggest looking into?<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">An effective action for individuals in democracies is voting for representatives who will act urgently according to the scientific evidence.

How do you balance these two opposites as an artist?<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The \u201capocalyptic sublime\u201d has been alluring for artists since medieval times. And there\u2019s more and more apocalyptic scenes to show unfortunately: I recently documented melting Swiss Alps glaciers mummified in blankets to slow their inevitable death. But it doesn\u2019t move us to where we need to be; it may even risk communicating \u201cit\u2019s too late\u201d. In reality it\u2019s not too late to make global warming slightly less terrible for our future ancestors, though that window will close fast if we don\u2019t halve emissions by 2030.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">While it\u2019s tempting to focus on the destruction caused by humans (only some humans, not all!) it\u2019s compassion for others \u2014 both human and non-human \u2014 and the ability to visualize a better future that I think we need to see more of. There\u2019s research by climate psychologists that encourages communicators to flip the message about saving the planet from being an altruistic act of sacrifice to being a pleasurable one. The simple happiness of cycling instead of driving, eating plant based diets, or switching to 100% renewable energy, for example.<\/span><\/p>\n\n      \n              \n        \n  <\/div>\n  <div class=\"wp-block-column\"><\/div>\n\n\n<\/div>\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-video\"><video controls src=\"https:\/\/c.stocksy.com\/a\/t2UL00\/y0\/5120387.mp4\"><\/video><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.stocksy.com\/5120387\/greenlandic-inuit-settlement-midwinter-polar-night-time-lapse\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">ADAM S\u00c9BIRE<\/a><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns stocksy-generic-text-image\" id=\"block_cf7128e71c94ac436c5252d588460e4e\">\n\n\n  <div class=\"wp-block-column\" style=\"flex-basis:42%\"><\/div>\n  <div class=\"wp-block-column\" style=\"flex-basis:68%\">\n    \n              <p><span style=\"color: #7b7b7b;\">To follow up on the previous question, how has witnessing the climate emergency so up close impacted you personally?<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">I came close to being the first person to drown right in front of St Mark\u2019s Venice when I was caught, alone, around midnight, in the city\u2019s worst flood disaster in late 2019. Everything happened so suddenly and violently. That\u2019s the thing with climate change: the extremes become much more extreme. Another pivotal moment for me was making an artwork, <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.adamsebire.info\/the-works\/anthroposcenes\/#anthropoScene4\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">AnthropoScene IV<\/a><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, in Greenland where I sawed off the amount of sea ice my flights there were calculated to destroy. As I floated out to Baffin Bay atop 15.69m\u00b2 of sea ice I realized that nature owes us nothing; we\u2019re top of the food chain, so if we disappear, homeostasis (call it Gaia if you will) would eventually rebalance the planet. Of course by then we would have caused suffering for so many generations of living things who were not responsible for this situation; so it\u2019s hardly a comfort.<\/span><\/p>\n\n      \n              \n      <\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns stocksy-generic-text-image\" id=\"block_eca0539273cf1d6321bc8677661c75f7\">\n\n  <div class=\"wp-block-column\" style=\"flex-basis:24%\"><\/div>\n  <div class=\"wp-block-column\" style=\"flex-basis:58%\">\n\n    \n              <p><span style=\"color: #7b7b7b;\">Besides capturing the negative side of the changing climate, you also capture projects that are having a positive impact. From the geothermal power plants and carbon capture stations in Iceland to floating solar panels in Alpine lakes in Switzerland. Can you tell us about your favorite projects currently being worked on?<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Some of them look pretty cool I\u2019ll admit but I don\u2019t want to suggest we should happily apply techno-fixes to get ourselves out of this problem! Unbridled faith in our mastery of nature was what got us into this situation. Massive leaps in solar efficiency do give me hope but I think geoengineering projects such as carbon capture are interesting mostly for their hubris: engineering our way out of the emergency to avoid addressing its fundamental causes. Personally I\u2019m a big fan of capturing carbon by tree planting \u2014 in person or with a community; getting your hands dirty. Not just ticking a box labeled \u201coffset your emissions\u201d since that doesn\u2019t stop the emissions happening and allows rich people to continue business as usual, guilt free.<\/span><\/p>\n\n      \n              \n        \n  <\/div>\n  <div class=\"wp-block-column\"><\/div>\n\n\n<\/div>\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns stocksy-image-contained\" id=\"block_1a27ee37ba092ef5a08d61233489432f\">\n  <div class=\"wp-block-column\" style=\"flex-basis:8%\"><\/div>\n  \n  <div class=\"wp-block-column\" style=\"flex-basis:92%\">\n    <figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\">\n              <a href=\"https:\/\/www.stocksy.com\/3281080\/greenland-melting-sledge-dogs-or-huskies-chained-up-due-to-thin-sea-ice\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"buy_url\">\n            <img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"525\" src=\"https:\/\/www.stocksy.com\/ideas\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/Stocksy_comp_3281080-1-1024x525.jpg\" class=\"attachment-large size-large\" alt=\"Greenland Melting, Sledge Dogs Or Huskies Chained Up Due To Thin Sea Ice\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.stocksy.com\/ideas\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/Stocksy_comp_3281080-1-1024x525.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.stocksy.com\/ideas\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/Stocksy_comp_3281080-1-300x154.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.stocksy.com\/ideas\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/Stocksy_comp_3281080-1-768x394.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.stocksy.com\/ideas\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/Stocksy_comp_3281080-1.jpg 1400w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/>\n              <\/a>\n            <figcaption>\n                      <a href=\"https:\/\/www.stocksy.com\/A_of_AU\/showcase?page=1\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"image-author\">\n              Adam S\u00e9bire\n            <\/a><br>\n                          <\/figcaption>\n    <\/figure>\n  <\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns stocksy-1-4-image-3-4-text\" id=\"block_346ed3ebdb65e3acd51e5c7642175849\">\n  <div class=\"wp-block-column\" style=\"flex-basis:34%\">\n        \n    \n    <div class=\"container\">\n      <div class=\"featured-image-details\">\n        <div class=\"details-content\">\n                            <\/div>\n      <\/div>\n    <\/div>\n  <\/div>\n  <div class=\"wp-block-column\" style=\"flex-basis:8%\">\n  <\/div>\n  <div class=\"wp-block-column\" style=\"flex-basis:58%\">\n      <p><span style=\"color: #7b7b7b;\">You mentioned that you are about to leave on your next trip.

So while it\u2019s good to be home, I&#8217;m determined to return my focus to the Pacific, which is bearing the brunt of a problem they didn\u2019t cause. Though it&#8217;s less carbon-intensive to film in my own backyard, today I ordered 80 seedlings to plant when I return (approximately 15 Eucalyptus soak up one tonne of CO\u2082) to cover this and another journey.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">But I guess you mean artistic preparation, right? I read academic research to find out what\u2019s happening where: climate change causes, effects and responses.

After our 2018 Festival, Meta (as it\u2019s now called) took me on a speaking tour to its staff around the world to explore the burgeoning format. I delivered a 500 year art-history lecture mixed with cinematography theory and social critique to suggest we should never limit artists to any particular aspect ratio.
