Climatesaurus, Paris COP 21



The gigantic serpent is made up of a myriad of plastic bottle caps and is traversed along its entire length by a black crest that emits its own light. It is then wrapped in a very long white strip of reflective material that lights up when photographed with a flash. Climatesaurus is a large, mysterious creature, not yet classified in zoological tables. It does not belong to the animal world but to the artificial one; it does not show its head but enters and exits the ground before ascending the staircase that leads to the room where the conference will take place.
