Several artworks deal about the environnement. Alex Dupont is a contemporain artist who has used the environnement in some of his works. We are going to explain Ice Watch, one of his most popular artwork.
Alex Dupont has created Ice Watch in 2015. This work is an installation makes with twelve ice blocs. The artist has put the blocs in cercle, like the twelve hour on an horologe, and then, he just has wait. He waits that the bloc of ice disappear. THe aim of this work was to denounced the melting ice.
However, even if it was make with a good intention, this artwork has created several questionnements, especially about the contribution of this work at the melting ice, there is also an ethic question, ect.
Alex Dupont takes twelve real pieces of glacier. So, in this way, the artist has partciped at the disapparition of the glaciers. Besides, in let it melt, Alex Dupont did what he was just denouncing with this work. But deplaced some pieces of glaciers to put them in Paris and then just let them melt it is not in his avantage. In fact, with that, Alex Dupont created a politic around him and even if it was a great subject and an actual and important subject, he should have paid more attention to his approach.
Then, I think it was just a maladress by the artist however we have to paid attention about how we do what.
