Workshop description:

The concept and the aim of this workshop are based on reconfiguring the traditional insight and the consumer perspective of the coast line use,  by artificially changing the isohypse of the land, keeping in mind the concept of „decoastruction“.  Focusing on the coast line, Sandsation will take place at the beach itself, observing the impact of wind and water on the sand, as an ever lasting, ever changing natural process.  We shall conduct series of experiments, artificially extending, deforming, reconstructing and shape shifting parts of the beach, in order to test the limits of it’s potentials. In this attempt, we exploit sand as an affordable and vastly accessible, natural material, with regard to it’s possible multi-functionality. On the other hand, the substructures of the newly created forms will be made out of cheap and attainable materials like scotch tape, in order to reconcile the two competing entities: ecological awerness and consumerism.
