How Flooded London Looks in 2090
Film and media studio Squint/Opera has created a series of images depicting imaginary scenes in London in 2090, when rising sea levels have inundated the city.
The Flooded London series depicts the city as a “tranquil utopia” presenting a long-term view of how London’s population has adapted to raised sea levels.
The general scenario is set 80 or so years into the future, long after the sea levels have risen. The catastrophe side of the sea coming in has long since past and the five images are snapshots of people going about their lives, long since having adapted to the worlds new circumstance.
Squint has used photography, 3d modelling and digital manipulation to imitate some of the techniques of the super-idealistic Victorian landscape painters. Details are exaggerated and play with scale to present images that belie their composition.
Five images will be on show at Medcalf Gallery in Clerkenwell, London from the 20th June, 2008, for a month, during the London Festival of Architecture.
