D-FUSE’s ‘Nine Earths’ immersive installation
TIME: every hour from 11am (last screening begins at 15:00)
LOCATION: South Asia Gallery
Nine Earths is an immersive artwork that explores the relationship between ordinary lives and humanity’s excessive demand for the Earth’s resources. In doing so it invites the viewer to reflect on our impact on the planet, and how this connects us all.
Each year human demand for natural resources exceeds what our planet can regenerate in that time. We are going beyond what scientists call our planetary boundaries, and in doing so putting all our futures at risk.
If we all consumed as much as Qatar, the highest consuming nation of all and the inspiration for the title, we would need the equivalent of nine Earths to sustain us.
