The art of shoveling ice between piles

Latai Taumoepeau performs Ocean Island Mine as part of the Spill Festival in Ipswich.

She moves 500kg of ice with a shovel from one point to another to illustrate open cast mining and climate change.

Occasionally she drags the shovel along the pavement to punctuate the silence.
