Summary
Danish artist collective Superflex, in collaboration with KWY.studio architects, has created Super Kello — a harbourside stone sculpture in Oulu, Finland, designed as a future habitat for fish after sea levels rise due to climate change. The artwork is part of the Climate Clock public art trail, which features seven works engaging with climate themes. The sculpture is conceived as a "bell" that will eventually be submerged, transforming from a human-scale landmark into an underwater structure for marine life.
