The BUTCHERED installation by Anish Kapoor and Greenpeace on Shell's gas platform showcases climate damage from fossil fuel extraction. The artwork debuted during a significant heatwave in the UK in 2025, coinciding with severe weather events in Europe and Asia. Seven Greenpeace activists successfully installed a large canvas using a system to pump a custom red liquid that signifies oil and gas operations' environmental impacts. Shell and similar companies are noted to be major contributors to global climate damage, with vast financial implications recorded.
The BUTCHERED installation on Shell's gas platform visualizes climate damage from fossil fuel extraction, using a blood-like liquid to symbolize environmental impact.
The installation was performed during the UK's fourth heatwave in the summer of 2025, amidst record-breaking temperatures and widespread climate-related disasters across Europe.
Seven Greenpeace climbers created the installation, utilizing a hose to pump 1,000 liters of a red liquid mixture, representing oil's environmental consequences, onto a canvas.
Research indicates that oil companies, including Shell, are responsible for more than half of the global climate devastation, incurring a financial damage of approximately 28 trillion dollars.
