Eliasson and the Green River

I was inspired by the way Eliasson explained the movement and space within the world we live in. When he puts green into rivers around the world, it shows that people truly do make a difference. People have an effect on water, on air, on the earth. And most of all, it shows that what people do… spreads. As the green color in the river slowly moves throughout it, it shows the changes happening over time. It shows the sense of space and time and consequences.

I think this is something that people need to be more aware of. Most pollution is not visible to people and this creates a sort of compliance and non responsibility that is the true problem for our earth. Green swirling water gets everyones attention and brings to light the effect we can have.
