Yoko Ono has shared a new series of public artworks tackling the climate crisis, to mark Earth Day (April 22). Consisting of black text on a white background, the large-scale billboards simply declare: “I Love You Earth.”
In partnership with Serpentine Galleries, the new billboards have been installed in cities across the UK, including London, Liverpool, Glasgow, and Manchester. The message also refers to Ono’s song of the same name on the 1985 album
Starpeace, which includes the lyrics: “
I love you, earth, you are beautiful / I love the way you are / I know I never said it to you / But I wanna say it now.”
