In an unusual campaign to raise awareness about climate change, giant photographs of Oxford’s bishops with “Copenhagen” written on their foreheads have been projected onto famous UK landmarks.
The images are being used as part of a Christian Union campaign to persuade the UN to act on climate change.
‘Mass Visual Trespass’ invites members of the public to send in their own text, photo and video messages which are projected onto famous landmarks, including the Houses of Parliament and E.ON’s Ironbridge power plant. This is done in anticipation of the climate change talks taking place in Copenhagen in December.
Oxford photographer Tom Weller, who photographed the bishops, explained the concept behind the photos, “You don’t expect to see bishops with writing on their foreheads. The idea was that each would be a simple portrait shot, but used together as a series they would have a real impact.”
