In Anish Kapoor’s Hands, an Offshore Gas Rig Became a Call for Climate Accountability

Anish Kapoor's Climate Call

Anish Kapoor's project, BUTCHERED, challenges viewers to consider the cost of climate change.

Positioned against rising global temperatures and corporate profits, the project features a 1,000-square-foot work on a Shell-owned gas rig in the North Sea.

The work, composed of seawater, beetroot powder, and food-grade dye, was executed in collaboration with seven climbers from Greenpeace.

BUTCHERED (2025) was a climate protest.
