MERCURY CRAB - THE Original file
MERCURY CRAB - On the bottom of a fjord in Norway: crabs that look like monsters after being polluted by heavy metals and plastic granules. Here, strong means have been used to illustrate this. Here we see such a crab in a murky chemical environment. Norwegian authorities are now warning against eating crab regularly, due to the great risk one incurs with plastic granules and heavy metals, which are largely stored in the human body. We are ruining our maritime food plate every single day. And it seems to be getting worse. The artist is extra observant and angry about this, as shellfish is his favorite food

"Toxic Tides: The Plight of Norway's Fjord Fauna" is a captivating exhibition that delves into the urgent environmental challenges facing the delicate ecosystems of Norway's fjords. Anchored by Morten Klementsen's harrowing digital work "Mercury Crab " this collection of contemporary art shines a spotlight on the devastating impact of pollution, plastic, and heavy metal contamination on the region's marine life.
Through a range of mediums, including digital art, photography, and installation, the exhibition immerses visitors in the stark reality of the fjords' deteriorating health.
