Artist: Susannah Sayler / Producer: Edward Morris

Canary Project co-founder Susannah Sayler is photographing landscapes around the world that are showing signs and forewarnings of climate change. Beginning in the spring of 2007, Sayler also began shooting landscapes where successes in conservation and adaptation to climate change are visible.

Project Director: Amanda Burr / Producers: Edward Morris & Amanda Burr

Interviews with frontline witnesses of climate change, beginning with people who live in or around the locations photographed by Sayler. Sound archive to be developed into an exhibition/installation component to be paired with photographs and other media, as well as distributed as a stand-alone project. (Project Director and Producer: Amanda Burr). In development, more soon.

An interactive website that will integrate images, scientific data, user-generated content and Google Earth-type functionality, allowing people to dig deeper into information about ways that specific places are impacted by climate change and what people are doing to adapt to and mitigate such potentially devastating changes. In development, more soon.

Sayler's photographs of ocean landscapes alternate with mountain glaciers in a video loop that meditates on the transformation and redistribution of water - an issue at the core of climate change. The video is paired with a staged melting event in which 300-pound blocks of ice slowly turn to water.
