Appreciation towards HOLDUP for providing the following description:

The Waving Wall of Chalkwell is an art installation, commissioned by Metal, comprising of over 1200, 19L water cooler bottles*, demonstrating the vast journey water takes as well as the amount of water used in the production of certain products; a few of which have been depicted in small cabinets, along with information regarding their water consumption.

“The average Brit only sees 3% of the water that they consume.”

BLOO Nation uses art to raise awareness about the concept of embedded water: the volume of water used to produce a product in various steps of the production chain.

The Waving Wall attempts to help visualize the vast amounts of ‘invisible’ water required to produce these items using a very simple calculation: assuming that every water cooler bottle is filled, there would be approximately 22,800L of water based on this fact. This entire installation would only make up about 2 pairs of jeans or 5 beef steaks!

In the UK, we individually soak up 4645L of water on a daily basis, that’s 50 bathtubs worth of water! The problem with this is that two-thirds of this water is imported through products, from countries that are already suffering from water shortages. There is an impending water crisis.

“In 2025, more than half of the world’s population will be facing water-based vulnerability.”

这个艺术装置品由超过1200个19L桶装水桶组成。并在其中穿插植入小柜子，展示关于水的旅程。
在英国，人们只看见了他们所耗水的3%。

在这个展示中，将水在各个生产链的旅程进行了展示。

同时现场的这段“波”墙是一个非常形象的例证：如果这些桶全部装满水，大约有22800L，但是这些水只
能生产4条牛仔裤或者5块牛排。英国人均耗水每天达到4645L（包括间接耗水），这有50个浴缸那么多。世
界上有三分之二的国家已经缺水，水危机是一个不可忽略的问题。

2025年，世界上超过一半的人口将面对用水困难这一事实。
