Macarena Ruiz-Tagle, a Berlin-based artist, creates postcards representing different atmospheric conditions. While her Cyanometer and Sunset postcards capture vibrant colors of the sky, her Air Pollution postcard represents the stark reality of our climate crisis. Designed for days with poor air quality, it portrays pale pinks and grays to reflect polluted skies. The interactive cards aim to make tangible the invisible impacts of air pollution, encouraging viewers to contemplate the beauty and pollution of our environment. Ruiz-Tagle believes in sustaining a space for reflection within our troubled atmosphere through art.
Separating the visual delight of being immersed in a cloud from the intoxicating reality of breathing heavily polluted air, the postcard evokes both the smog that engulfs global cities and the ethereal beauty of fog.
Ruiz-Tagle's Air Pollution postcard perhaps the most fitting for our era of climate catastrophe, awash in pale pinks and grays to match that of a gloomy, and even soiled, atmosphere.
