Undersea Art

DateMonday, December 27, 2010 at 20:00

This is one exhibit I definitely want to see!

British sculptor Jason deCaires Taylor has installed his exhibit The Silent Evolution 30 feet underwater with 400 life-sized sculptures of real people.  

These sculptures will quickly be taken over by sea creatures to form an artificial reef - a message, Taylor says, "remind[s] us of our close dependency on nature and the respect we should afford it."

    I love how the batfish are always lurking, ready for a photobomb! 

 

 

He's made several other installations or sculptures in Cancún, Grenada and the UK.
