Artists Emulate Spectacular South American Landscapes Utilizing Polluting Materials Imperiling Them

In a recent initiative, Greenpeace Chile, in collaboration with Cheil Central America, has commissioned artists to create a striking campaign aimed at drawing attention to the damaging impact of plastic pollution on the environment.

The project, which uses plastic as its medium, recreates five treasured landscapes of Chile. This unique approach not only serves as a form of art advocacy but also underscores the ubiquity of plastic, even in remote places on Earth and within the food chain.

The campaign, which includes print, outdoor, and social media elements, aims to raise awareness about the harmfulness and ubiquitousness of plastic. It also emphasizes the need for behavioral change to mitigate the damaging effects of plastic pollution.

While the specific artists involved in the project have not been identified, their work serves to bring attention to the fact that plastic is making its way into our oceans, the food chain, and even remote places on Earth. The exact timeline of the campaign is not specified.

The project is a continuation of Greenpeace Chile's art advocacy efforts, using art to bring attention to environmental issues. The campaign's goal is not explicitly stated to raise awareness about plastic's harmfulness or ubiquitousness, but its impact on public awareness and potential for environmental change remains to be seen.

The campaign does not specify a location, allowing it to resonate with people across the globe. As plastic's damaging effects on the environment are a current issue, this campaign serves as a timely reminder of the need for action.
