30. OPEN ART-Ausstellung - Grad°jetzt – Die Reise zum Klima
In the organizer's words:
The climate crisis, tipping points and species extinction will be the focus of the 30th OPEN ART exhibition "Grad°jetzt - Die Reise zum Klima" in the northern Überseequartier for six months from September 26, 2024. Greenpeace photographer Markus Mauthe will be showing 48 large-format images from his research trip to places that represent climate tipping points. The exhibition will be opened by Markus Mauthe, Angela Pieske, Head of Communications at Greenpeace, and Dr. Claudia Weise, Neighbourhood Manager Northern Überseequartier at BNP Paribas Real Estate Property Management Germany. Until April 2025, the images and stories about the places threatened by climate change can be viewed free of charge around the clock.
The climate crisis has many effects. One impact is the so-called climate tipping points, where ecosystems and environmental conditions change irreversibly when a certain average temperature is exceeded. Markus Mauthe visited and visually captured six of these places where the climate threatens to tip over for the Greenpeace project "Grad°jetzt". The images show both fascinating known and unknown regions of our planet and illustrate the changes they are undergoing. In Senegal, for example, where the coasts are disappearing and the rise in sea levels is already clearly noticeable. In Canada, Markus Mauthe documented the thawing of the permafrost and the increasingly frequent forest fires. Or in the Amazon, which is already releasing more CO2 than it binds due to drastic deforestation. Other stops on his research trips included Greenland, Bangladesh and Australia. The fragility, but also the beauty of these places are at the heart of the exhibition.
"These research trips took me to places where the climate crisis poses a particularly acute threat to nature and the people who live there. I wanted to show their stories in a very concrete way and am now bringing them closer to those interested through OPEN ART on Überseeboulevard," says Markus Mauthe. "Showing this in 48 large-format pictures with the accompanying texts, conveying knowledge about the effects of the climate crisis, is intended to illustrate the challenges of our time, but also to encourage us to work together on a sustainable society, for a healthy planet and a fair future for all people."
