城市里的爱斯基摩冰屋




艺术家Ralf Schmerberg 在德国汉堡街头制造了一个爱斯基摩人Igloo(伊格鲁,也就是冰屋)。当然汉堡的天气还不足以弄出这么大一块冰,所以Ralf 使用322个冰箱来制作。

322个,也不完全是冰箱,也包括一些家用电器,例如洗衣机、微波炉、面包机啥的。Ralf 还在冰屋旁边弄了一个巨大的电表,用来提醒人们巨大的能源消耗。

作者希望用这个艺术作品来提醒大家,如果我们努力是可以节约出更多能源来做其他的视频。

在巨型电表背面,Ralf 还写到,如果使用再生能源,德国将节约40%的能源,就这个巨大的冰屋来说,便可使用节约的能源制作13块巧克力、35对手套、487个三明治、120杯啤酒、1718米的电线。

A German artist named Ralf Schmerberg has created an igloo out of fridges in a square in Hamburg, Germany, to try and draw attention to energy use and climate change.

To make that point, alongside the construction is a giant electricity meter that displays how much electricity is being used by the 322 old fridges that comprise the structure. Inside, a selection of old electronic devices -- kids' toys, fans, kettles, microwaves, washing machines, toasters, a TV set and other items -- whirr and buzz away too.

The sculpture is titled "Wastefulness is the biggest source of Energy" and has been sponsored by energy provider Entega. Of course, having all those fridges on at the same time around the clock eats quite a lot of energy, so let's hope they're powered by renewables. Otherwise, it's a bit of an own goal, really.

On the back of the energy meter is the claim that Germany could save 40 percent of its power use if efficiency improvements were made, and a long list of items that went into the construction of the structure. Those include 13 bars of chocolate, 35 pairs of gloves, 487 sandwiches, 120 beers and 1,718 metres of wire. The structure weighs ten and a half tons, and stands 5.6 metres tall.

Schmerberg's other projects include a snowman protest in Berlin and music videos for The Fantastic Four and Die Toten Hosen. He's also directed more than 200 commercials for a number of high-profile companies, some of which are exhibited at the Museum of Modern Art in New York.

Here's a video of the Fridge Igloo under construction.
