King of Injustice / The Orange Plague

The sculpture is a satirical out-cry against Trump and the U.S. assault on the green transition and the rule-based world order. Trump is depicted as a self- pro-claimed King of Justice. He sits on the back of a frail man, holding a golf club next to a world-shaped golf ball in one hand, and scales symbolizing his power to define justice in the other hand.

Inspired by The Emperors New Clothes

The sculpture is inspired by H. C. Andersen’s tale The Emperor’s New Clothes, in which a vain ruler parades naked, believing him-self dressed in the finest garments. The illusion — sustained by fear and flattery — endures until a child cries out, “He’s not wearing any clothes” - and the emperor becomes a figure of ridicule.

Trump is covered in 23-carat gold leaf

This symbolizing a world where wealth, privilege, and power are reserved for himself and his inner circle. Like Andersen’s emperor, he believes the gold makes him great. It merely makes his nakedness shine brighter.

3D-printed Miniature

Miniature-sculptures are handed out for free when the Orange Plague is presented. The small statues can be seen as protest symbold, or "mascot”. Something participants take with them as a provocation and a call to action to stand together against his dominance. Get the files and print your own statue,

Why Donald Trump?

Donald Trump is back in the US where he is undermining the climate efforts, rolling back hard-won progress, and even destroying the scientific data that documents it. Worse yet, he is using power and economic pressure to discourage other nations from pursuing green initiatives — thereby weakening the global fight against climate change. Nations as well as NGOs are afraid to openly raise the subject on how to deal with Trump and his policies, fearing tariffs, fund-cuts, deportations or the like. As an independent art workshop we are not restricted by such bonds. This sculpture has been made to address "the elephant in the room" and start a necessary debate of how the US is destroying the world's only chance to counter the climate catastrophe and a debate on how stand up against him.

COP29 

At COP29, Jens Galschiot exhibited a variety of his sculpture Survival of the Fattest, that since the creation in 2002 has become known worldwide as a symbol of inequality. By bringing the sculpture to COP29 in Azerbaijan, Galschiøt highlighted the urgent need for ambitious climate goals and financial support for poorer countries’ climate adaptation efforts.

The sculptures were displayed at pavilions, events and debates and created a lot of attention - especially by developing countries. At the same time he handed out small 3D prints of the sculpture. The project was made a a collaboration between the artist and CARE Denmark. It enjoyed support from the former and present Danish Climate Ministers (Dan Jørgensen & Lars Aagaard) and recieved some economic support from Slots & Kulturstyrrelsen.

The Pillar of Shame in Belem, Brazil.

In 2000, Galschiøt erected a Pillar of Shame-sculpture in Belém as a commemoration of the Eldorado-massacre in which 19 landless peasants were killed by millitary Police. It still stands in Belem today as a powerful symbol of resistance. The Pillar of Shame is erected around the world as a kind of 'Nobel Price' for Crimes Against Humanity. Another one is the world-famous Orange Pillar of Shame in Hong Kong.  Read more
