Responding to the IPCC’s Special Report on the Ocean and Cryosphere in a Changing Climate, the anthropomorphic subjects of Will Benedict’s video, All Bleeding Stops Eventually, have a message for us humans: If we are unable to identify with the Ocean, then we are really only trying to save ourselves.
Written in collaboration with Chus Martínez and produced by DIS, Benedict’s six part video reflects how language presents us with separate worlds of interests and realms which create barriers to the fact that are all living in the same defenceless planet.
