Edwin brings his wry and critical eye to the streets of Stavanger in a bid to raise awareness about climate change and rising sea levels.

Operating under a cloak of secrecy, London-based artist Edwin never shies away from pointing out the most brutal truths, subverting our normal social order. His towering letters and large scale pointed installations deliver impactful messages. By highlighting the elephant in the room, Edwin provides a critical dialogue often lacking in the urban art environment.

These larger than life, full building, caution-tape wraps are the recurring visual of several installations that Edwin created in Stavanger, as a response to the question “What would happen if tomorrow, we lived the same way as we did today?” Here, Edwin addresses rising sea levels over the coming decades. These caution-tape hugs, seen enveloping several structures, visually mark the height at which water levels are predicted to reach by the year 2100 if no action is taken.
