How do you communicate the reality of plastic polution in the oceans?

 

Whilst people have seen images and footage of animals swimming through human rubbish and whales starving to dea as their stomachs overfil with plastic these images no longer shock and inspire action as they once did.

 

This experience aims to create a real invasion of a human space with plastic but creating giant strings of curtains out of plastic bottles and laying these curtains through a space such as The Vaults at Waterloo or the pedestrian tunnel that connects London Bridge train and tube stations.

 

Lighting would be designed to shine through the plastic to give the impression of being underwater whilst an  abstract soundscape based on the calls of seacreatures would echo throughout.
