SevenMeters

SevenMeters is a series of art installations made by Jens Galschiøt which was displayed on the occasion of the COP15 Summit, 7 December 2009 in Copenhagen.

The name SevenMeters derived from the realization that the water level will rise 7 meters if the global warming will melt all the ice in Greenland.

At the metro, where the COP15 was held, a 4 meters high bronze sculpture called "A messenger", depicting a mantle clad man with mythical radiation.

On the area, ‘Amager Fælled’ in front of the COP15 venue SevenMeters placed 10 meters high sculptures with copper faces and long colorful African women's costumes.

Next to The Little Mermaid at Langelinie, the sculpture Survival of the Fattest, a symbol of the rich world's (i.e. the fat woman, ‘Justitia’) self-complacent ‘righteousness’.
