Iceberg in Australia

IA14d


THE PROJECT

Background

This project is an attempt to present a serious topic in a surreal/fun/eye-catching manner. It also played on turning something that is impossible into something that is “possible” (like an iceberg in a hot country!).

Client

Climate Institute is an independent research and communications organisation that promotes climate change awareness.

Project

An exhibition space that can be used to promote climate change awareness and a venue that can be hired for private functions.

Inspiration

Icebergs are unheard of in Australia. Seeing one floating on the Yarra River will surely catch everyone’s attention.
