Olafur Eliasson - Ice Watch London

Responsibility (責任) 是由 Response (回應) 與 Ability (能力)組成。這個詞背後所代表的思考角度，也影響著藝術的進程：藝術不僅是一種思考的表達，更是對社會命題的回應。這是藝術家的責任 (Responsibility)，也是藝術的使命。

2018年12月，藝術家Olafur Eliasson和 Minik Rosing從 Nuup Kangerlua Fjord 中撈出正在融化進海洋中的冰塊（重量於1.5到6噸之間），然後將24塊冰塊置於Tate Modern之外的Bankside的24個小樹林中，同時在Bloomberg London歐洲總部之外以6塊冰塊的置放形成了一圓環，作品最終展出至冰塊的全面融化為止。

這位出生於冰島的藝術家，發現自己生活的這塊島嶼因為全球氣候變化，每年都在慢慢消融。所以從2003年開始，他開始嘗試通過藝術創作來引發受眾對於氣候變化危機的思考，並付諸於行動來應對。

在他看來，消逝並非遺憾，而遺憾的是我們未注意到消逝的存在。就像那些冰塊里因為融化而釋放的氣泡一樣，「它釋放的是五千年前的空氣，但這不代表它正在消失，而是告訴我們，它來了。「 他把這30塊冰塊搬到倫敦街頭，在人類的注視、撫摸和觸碰下逐漸消失。最後這些冰塊都歸於一灘水漬，乃至消失不見。這樣安靜又強大的一幕，喚起每個人內心不同的複雜情緒，讓大家真正意識到：氣候變化，這是與我們每個人每天都息息相關的問題。
