Project Resurrection by Karin Janssen: Inspiring Climate Change Action
March 2023
Project Resurrection is a set of three sister sculptures exploring the psychology of climate change. They are designed in Virtual Reality and 3D printed. The Land Reef is a large sculpture that will slowly become overgrown with plants. The Underwater Reef is the twin of that sculpture which will be placed on the ocean floor off the coast of Taiwan, serving as an artificial reef on which we will plant coral. The Virtual Reality Reef is a VR experience in which you visit the underwater reef from the land reef, seeing fish nibble on the underwater reef, thus highlighting the connection between life on land and life in the sea, making the invisible visible. Together with local and international partners, I have been working since late 2020 to make Project Resurrection a reality.

Janssen's body of work Escape to Solastalgia, rooted in her interest in the psychology of climate change, explores the meaning of the word 'solastalgia': the troubling dichotomy of finding both comfort and suffering in the future of our ecosystems. It is defined by a feeling of duality which emerges and unravels itself in the particular grief one experiences in a world which, whilst momentarily still breathing, deteriorates all around us.
