Jason deCaires Taylor's 'The Rising Tide'
'The Rising Tide' is a collection of life size sculptures of horses with riders by Jason deCaires Taylor that are positioned in the river Thames beside Vauxhall Bridge, London, 2-30th September commissioned for the Totally Thames arts festival 2015
It's message is to question the world's future relationship with fossil fuels. The smug looking businessmen astride the horses with lowered heads are designed to represent the position of power over these resources, while the two small children depict future generations who will live with the consequences of overconsumption.
quote from the artist-
"The hybrid sculptures fuse oil extraction machinery with the equine form, referencing the working horse of London whilst drawing attention to our on-going dependency on fossil fuels and the potential apocalyptic outcome of climate change".
I had every intention of shooting this scene with a longer lens, however the location proved quite popular for my Sunday visit so had to be content with a wider view from the 'frontline' of the crowd. Bright sidelight was very brief but most welcome ;)
