A burst of color takes shape on the earth embankments in this ambiguous area of Quai du Vent-Blanc. The spatial and temporal dynamics of the lost shoreline are the guiding theme. Bags filled with sand from the lake fashion a topographical feature in miniature, evoking the concept of protection: not just from conflict but also from flooding, because water—a precious resource—is in urgent need of protection.
In the center of the peculiar dune is a pile of sand, left open to the elements for a garden to grow. Dune vegetation has taken root, as if sown by the wind. Tamarisks, grasses and perennials form colorful little gardens, protecting the dune against erosion. The sand garden expands and changes as the festival progresses, shaped by visitors’ footsteps and the vagaries of the wind.
