3:37 pm
a museum was being built here i'm very curious to see it what is the result. then they take the plunge. twelve to fourteen meters below the water surface they find more than two hundred sculptures . and many were modeled on residents of lanza rota all by artist jason to kerrisdale or. some make a statement about contemporary society like this one which shows a faceless couple taking a selfie. with the look on ourselves of we know we're losing the ability to experience things we can do is seem to document everything and so by putting in this underwater setting and putting it with other art works it's kind of relieved ourselves mushy living life instead we're just recording life and kind of wanted to
3:38 pm
sort of maybe give the viewer this idea that we're kind of losing a part of ourselves in the process jason to kerry's tailor has been working on the museum since two thousand and thirteen. the british artist produces his sculptures in his studio beside the bay some are portraits or statues that stand on their own but others are large ensemble pieces raft of lampedusa pays homage to the refugees who died crossing the mediterranean after. all the people that are coming to europe you know that they're coming because they have to they have to make a. life themselves have no other option so either that or drown effectively. i wanted to put the emphasis on us on our responsibility to try and solve the crisis . the artist sculptures already adorn many seabeds around the world like here in mexico the art evolves over time as coral and other marine life move in there like

artwork so conservation. will fundamentally is to kind of show us living in this kind of symbiotic relationship in a in a cut of better balance with nature instead of a sort of dominating the landscape we are actually being colonized and maybe absorbed back into the into the planet. the first sculptures were submerged here in los colorado space at the start of february twenty sixth team nature will eventually make its mark on them to put in cold water like this even taylor can predict what will happen over the next few years to the atlantic ocean this is just really really interesting is this incredibly deep sort of blue which i have witnessed and in other parts i work and it really gives the house or the museum a different look kind of otherworldly feeling to it was ghostly like.
3:40 pm
one thing's for sure. the sculptures of jason to kara's taylor are evolving over time as nature takes its toll. from underwater and once the road to to the purifying waters of every on france now this mineral water has hydrated and healed the human body for a couple of centuries but only since eight hundred twenty six has it been officially bottled today it's one of the most commercially sold bottled waters in the world available in some one hundred and twenty countries and it's hard to believe when you visit this quaint town of every l.a. by which owes its reputation to nature. nestled on the shores of lake geneva if you only bank is a water paradise but the trips are popular here and so is fishing. the resort specializes in water sports of virtually every kind. and water springs are
