To commemorate Earth Day 2020, nine orange and pink animations depicting different views of the planet are being posted via Instagram every hour from 10 a.m. BST. The digital initiative made by Danish-Icelandic artist Olafur Eliasson is a challenge of perception of our planet, urging viewers to picture Earth in the future and think about the negative consequences that the Earth will inevitably endure.

In times of the coronavirus pandemic, it is safe to say the topics of climate crisis and/or pollution have been greatly neglected, and this initiative, part of the Serpentine Galleries’ Back to Earth program, wants to remind us of our planet.

The first animation features the Great Barrier Reef in Australia, while others show the Ganges River in India, the Mariana Trench in the Pacific Ocean, the Simien Mountains in Ethiopia and more, with the studio statement reading: “Each image denotes a particular spot on Earth with a ‘dot. If a viewer stares at the dot for about ten seconds and then trains their focus onto a blank surface, an afterimage appears in the complementary colors of Eliasson’s visual — the viewer literally projects a new world view.”
