Pollution Exhibition at Wellcome Collection
In April 2007 the artist Angela Palmer embarked on a journey to capture the physical properties of climate change. She travelled to the most polluted air on Earth, Linfen in Shanxi Province, China, and to the place with the purest air and water on Earth, Cape Grim on the northwest tip of Tasmania.
The objects from her journey - including white uniforms worn for one day in both locations now contrasting in colour due to levels of air pollution, face cleansers that reveal dirt from the atmosphere, collected air, and more - are being showcased at Wellcome Collection as part of Breathing In, an installation of Angela Palmer's work.
