PLUNGE by Michael Pinsky, presented by Artsadmin and LIFT, consists of a series of public light installations marking the predicted 3012 sea level on London's iconic monuments.

It is a major new work of art which invites visitors to look up and look forward 1000 years to the year 3012, when the effects of runaway climate change will have completely changed the look of our capital city.

Artist Pinsky's work will illustrate how sea levels will have climbed by then, should we fail to heed the threat of global warming.

The artwork, which resembles rings of blue fire, will be erected at 28 metres above sea level on familiar icons across London in a disturbing and dazzling vision of apocalypse.

Included will be the column at Paternoster Square adjoining St Paul's Cathedral and the London Stock Exchange, and Duke of York's column overlooking St James's Park.

The installation launched last night and will last for 26 days. For more information www.plungelondon.com
