The Watermark Project.


The Watermarks Project is a public art project innovated by Chris Bodle.  Located in Bristol, England, the project consists of a series of large-scale projections at sites across the city.  It address the question regarding rising water levels and the effect that it will have on social and cultural aspects of living in addition to the adaptions that will need to be made with the environmental changes bound to occur.

It is easy to forget the deterioration that occurs to the environment because it is out of sight, therefor, out of mind.  It is a genius thought that Bodle developed, throwing the terrorizing aspects that we should acknowledge, but fear to, in our faces.  The most innovative thing is that he casually intwines it within everyday living, allowing the idea to not be abrasive to viewers.

The installation ran from February 6th through February 12th of the current year. You can learn more about the work and artist by following this link.
