Brief documentary explaining Project Resurrection
Project Resurrection
Inspiring Climate Change Action
Project Resurrection is a unique art project that combines art, psychology, innovative technology, and coral reef protection. It is a project by Dutch artist Karin Janssen, who believes art can inspire climate change action.
The project consists of three sister sculptures:
The sculptures are designed to guide visitors on a journey of climate change psychology, from denial and anxiety to hope and action. The project is not just art but a reef restoration project that aims to inspire people to take action on climate change.
Coral reefs are vital for our planet
Even though they only cover 0.2% of the ocean floor, they provide coastal protection, food, medicine and livelihood for over a billion people, and they support 30% of all marine life. But 70 - 90% of all coral reefs are predicted to disappear in the next 20 years, all because of human actions.
Project Resurrection is a beacon of hope for the future of coral reefs and of our planet. It is a reminder that we can all take action to protect our planet, even in the face of climate change.

Project Resurrection is a unique art project that combines art, psychology, innovative technology, and coral reef protection. It is a project by Dutch artist Karin Janssen, who believes art can inspire climate change action.
The project consists of three sister sculptures:
- The Land Reef: A large sculpture that will slowly become overgrown with plants.
- The Underwater Reef: A twin of the Land Reef that will be placed on the ocean floor off the coast of Taiwan to serve as an artificial reef for coral planting.
- The Virtual Reality Reef: A VR experience in which visitors can visit the Underwater Reef from the Land Reef and see the connection between life on land and life in the sea, making the invisible visible.
The sculptures are designed to guide visitors on a journey of climate change psychology, from denial and anxiety to hope and action. The project is not just art but a reef restoration project that aims to inspire people to take action on climate change.

Action is the cure
Take that first step, no matter how small, and remind yourself that you have the power to make a difference.
Together with local and international partners we are working to make Project Resurrection a reality
We are planning to install a pilot structure in 2025 that features innovative, marine biology-adapted artificial reef design. We will use tested techniques and newly developed 3D-printed biomaterials to create a reef that is highly complex and varied to promote biodiversity, whilst at the same time telling a human story.
We are raising funds
We are grateful for the generous support of our early corporate sponsors. To learn more about sponsorship opportunities, please send us an email.
