Amsterdam Light Festival 2019

Artwork Surface Tension was created by the artists Tom Biddulph and Barbara Ryan. During the period of the Light Festival in December 2019/January 2020 they have transformed a part of Amsterdam’s famous canal into a drowned city street: the spooky, glowing silhouettes of swept-up cars, lamp posts and traffic signs rise out of the water, a ghostly vision of what could happen in the future. Due to manmade climate change and the big ice melt, water levels are rising and with it, the risk of devastating flooding around the world- including Amsterdam and a part of the Netherlands

A harbinger of a future fate. I remember the flooding of around 1953 and how the Dutch persevered.
