The artists want to re-address Thunberg’s powerful message with this piece, reminding viewers that climate pollution will worsen if preventive actions are not undertaken. The video plays audio from Thunberg's speech, "“I want you to panic. I want you to act as if your house was on fire. I have said those words before. A lot of people have explained why that is a bad idea. A great number of politicians have told me that panic never leads to anything good. And I agree. To panic, unless you have to, is a terrible idea, but when your house is on fire and you want to keep your house from burning to the ground then that does require some level of panic. Everything needs to change and it has to start today. So everyone out there, it is now time for civil disobedience. It is time to rebel.” — Greta Thunberg" About the artists: "Saman Oskouei (born 1985) and Sasan Oskouei (born 1991) know as ICY and SOT are artists from Tabriz, Iran, currently residing in Brooklyn, New York., the two brothers started making their marks in the streets of Iran in 2006, Icy and Sot always look for the appropriate medium to give their ideas the greatest resonance. Through their unique visual language, they have been delivering powerful, moving statements on the present-day human condition, tackling important issues such as human rights, detention, women’s rights, the plights of migrants and refugees, climate change, or the pitfalls of capitalism. Their commitment is reflected in the materials that their artworks are made of: barbed wire, iron wire, old rusty shovels or oil cans. All raw materials that the artists divert and transfigure to give life to pieces of art that are full of poetry and fragility. However Icy and Sot do not mean to lecture anyone. They are content with reflecting the truth of our times through their own language. And turn it into a work of art." International shipping available!
