The site-specific installation<\/a><\/strong> explores projected climate<\/a><\/strong> pathways through five sculptural<\/a> greenhouses<\/a><\/strong>. The exhibition is a collaboration between the artists, climate researchers from Ume\u00e5 University, and the Botanical Garden, using architectural form to visualize the UN\u2019s Shared Socioeconomic Pathways (SSPs) for the year 2100. Each structure represents a different SSP scenario, translating scientific data into spatial and material experiences.<\/p>\n

Five Climate Futures Interpreted Through Greenhouse Structures<\/h2>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

SSP1 takes the form of a tube-shaped green greenhouse designed for circular living. Its systems are synchronized with diurnal rhythms, turning the space into a functioning environmental clock. SSP2 is materialized as an inverted red greenhouse resembling a cottage, where visitors can suspend themselves in a flagpole hammock. A third structure, SSP3, uses the shape of a rising line graph to structure a walk-through installation. Beaded glass curtains represent climate data, allowing visitors to physically engage with abstract metrics. SSP4 is embodied in a fractured greenhouse located in a more isolated section of the garden. Its cracked surfaces evoke a dried-out desert. The final installation, designed by Bigert & Bergstr\u00f6m Studio<\/a><\/strong>, SSP5, is a brown greenhouse emitting smoke, symbolizing stagnation and high-emission trajectories.<\/p>\n

Broken Greenhouse installations Interpret Climate Uncertainty<\/h2>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

The title Broken Greenhouse references both environmental degradation and the fragile state of current systems. The idea that climate change is beyond human control has been overturned, and the effects of greenhouse gas emissions are now firmly acknowledged. Bigert & Bergstr\u00f6m\u2019s installation invites reflection on these realities while exploring how future scenarios might be understood, anticipated, or reshaped. The subtitle Embodied Climate Futures reflects the project\u2019s aim to visualize multiple scenarios, offering physical spaces that invite reflection on climate trajectories and potential responses.<\/p>\n
