Meltdown premiered at the Natural History Museum in Vienna in 2019 and was later shown at
the Horniman Museum and Gardens in London.
The exhibition is a three chapter narrative of the importance of glaciers told in a scientific, illustrative and poetic way. ”Meltdown” shows scale from the planetary level to microscopic biological impact, humanitarian suffering, adaptation and more.
Together the artistic interpretations in Meltdown give visitors unique insights into the world’s cryosphere, its fragile ecosystem and our changing global climate.
