More about the artist:br /
The Berlin-based Urban Artist EMESS is undertaking a very personal exploratory expedition. EMESS voyage is an odyssey through the street cosmos, through materialisation, expressions and contents. EMESS investigates the possibilities of creation and the impact of public spaces. Within his project he is always looking for a new challenge and ways to transform things By using the specialities of the urban sphere and through using artistic moments of irritation the artist who once was a ?UDK Meiserschüler?, tries to question the common view. On the one hand side EMESS wants to draw attention to social and urban changes ? for example with his Paste-up-Armada, which shows 36 large-scale sailing boats in the ?alte Schönhauserstrasse?. The ?Flagship Store Invasion Berlin 2008? criticises the expulsion of small shops through well-funded trade chains and their Flagship Stores in Mitte. His series of huge bombers, who are armed with oversized televisions, which show the warning ?Watch your Head?, is a work, which concentrates on today?s usage of visual media. EMESS uses specific urban features and tries to react to their changes. His ?Deutsche kauft nicht bei Nazis? poster project in the Rosa Luxemburg Strasse or the alienation of different advertisements, so-called Adbustings are only some of the artist?s projects. By purposely using certain special happenings and places EMESS wants to irritate and remind. A good example would be the installation of three large sculptures at the 5. Berlin Biennale in the area of the former ?Todestreifens?. Through his concrete cast in form of a M16 quick fire gun with a helmet and protection glasses EMESS wants to remind of the wars and their victims. In all of his projects EMESS concentrates on the purpose of questioning the usual and to/p

pPortrait at Sambhavna Clinic. The portraits are either of people effected by the gas or living within an area of contaminated water. The clinic combines traditional and ayurvedic medicines and some of the patients are photographed with their prescriptions. The Sambhavna Clinic provides free medical treatment to those affected by the gas or suffering from illnesses caused by the contaminated water.br /
br /
HISTORYbr /
A gas leak from a Union Carbide pesticide plant in Bhopal, India saw the beginning of the worst industrial disaster in history. It has come to be known as the Hiroshima of the chemical industry.br /
40 tonnes of deadly methyl isocyanate gas, used in the manufacture of the pesticide Sevin, spewed from the plant into the surrounding areas.br /
br /
8-10,000 people died within the first 72 hours and another 15,000 people have died as a result of their exposure to the gas. Another 120,000 have chronic medical conditions that require constant healthcare.br /
(For comparison, Chernobyl is estimated to have caused 57 direct deaths, with some 4,000 additional deaths from cancer).br /
Union Carbide, the perpetrator of the disaster, is now owned by Dow. Dow have consistently refused to accept any responsibility for the disaster or its aftermath.br /
br /
The disaster site was never cleared of its toxic waste. The environment, all around the factory, is heavily contaminated and the toxins have now leached in to the drinking water aquifer. An estimated 25,000 people have no other regular source of drinking water and are forced to drink this water contaminated with toxic chemicals.br /

HISTORYbr /
A gas leak from a Union Carbide pesticide plant in Bhopal, India saw the beginning of the worst industrial disaster in history. It has come to be known as the Hiroshima of the chemical industry.br /
40 tonnes of deadly methyl isocyanate gas, used in the manufacture of the pesticide Sevin, spewed from the plant into the surrounding areas.br /
br /
8-10,000 people died within the first 72 hours and another 15,000 people have died as a result of their exposure to the gas. Another 120,000 have chronic medical conditions that require constant healthcare.br /
(For comparison, Chernobyl is estimated to have caused 57 direct deaths, with some 4,000 additional deaths from cancer).br /
Union Carbide, the perpetrator of the disaster, is now owned by Dow. Dow have consistently refused to accept any responsibility for the disaster or its aftermath.br /
br /
The disaster site was never cleared of its toxic waste. The environment, all around the factory, is heavily contaminated and the toxins have now leached in to the drinking water aquifer. An estimated 25,000 people have no other regular source of drinking water and are forced to drink this water contaminated with toxic chemicals.br /

The Bhopal Medical Appeal funds the Sambhavna Clinic. Sambhavna is the only place that offers free treatment to anybody affected by the toxic gas or the toxic water./p
