context_page_description: Bigert & Bergström is a Swedish artist duo consisting of Mats Bigert and Lars Bergström
  The Bigert & Bergström creative partnership began in 1986 while attending Royal Swedish Academy of Arts in Stockholm. Since then, the duo have created a wide range of art projects that have been internationally recognized and exhibited. Their productions range through large-scale sculptures, installations, public portrayals, performance and film – often combined in multimedia works.
context_section_description: Co2 Lock-in is a performance work and a sculptural installation in Stockholm on 16–31 March 2012. A series of leg-irons in the shape of carbon dioxide molecules were placed out in several central locations. In one of these locations, the artists themselves were shackled for a day. The sculptures, moulded out of recycled iron and weighing 300 kg each, represent the amount of carbon dioxide an average Swede emits over a 10-day period. The project was a collaboration between Bigert & Bergström and WWF to call attention to the worldwide climate action Earth Hour.
