Climate change through a lens

Encroaching Sea, Shifting Glaciers by Robin Hammond from 'Earth Alert: Photographic Responses to Climate Change', until 28 November 2009 at The Korean Cultural Centre UK, Grand Buildings, 1 - 3 Strand, London WC2N 5BW.

As next month's UN Climate Change conference in Copenhagen hoves into view, the Korean Cultural Centre UK is presenting an exhibition of works from 13 photographers that attempts to engage the medium with the concept of global warming. Climate change is a difficult process to illustrate with a mere snapshot, so instead the contributors from China, Germany, Korea, the UK and the US have addressed the subject obliquely; a Tuvalu resident stands up to her knees in flood water; a long-stranded boat lies idle in the arid Aral Sea; we see a receding glacier on Mount Everest and a sea full of dead fish off the coast of California. The images are confrontational, demanding a response, and reinforce the message that time is fast running out.
