Anish Kapoor's Climate Accountability Project

British sculptor Anish Kapoor debuted a project, "BUTCHERED", in the North Sea, challenging viewers to consider the damage of climate change.

The project, a 1,000-square-foot work, was composed of seawater, beetroot powder, and food-grade dye, executed in collaboration with seven climbers working with Greenpeace.
