Compartimos hoy con vosotros la intervención del artista y arquitecto Marco Casagrande en el frente marítimo belga de Wenduine y comisionada para la Beaufort04, cuarta edición de la Trienal de la Triennial of Contemporary Art by the Sea de 2012; en que una estructura orgánica de mimbre y arena en que destaca la atmósfera producida en su interior por el juego de luces y sombras y las formas que acompañan al visitante.
Sandworm is an organic structure/space/creature realized on the dunes of the Wenduine coastline, Belgium. The 45 meters long and 10 m wide and high installation moves freely in-between architecture and environmental art and is constructed entirely out of willow following the local knowledge of a continuing interaction between work and environment. Casagrande worked hard with his team of young architects and local experts for 4 weeks in order to create something that he describes as “weak architecture” – a human made structure that wishes to become part of nature through flexibility and organic presence.
The visitors are describing the Sandworm as a willow cathedral finely tuned to celebrate the site specific conditions of the Wenduine tidal beaches. The space is used for picnics, relaxation and post industrial meditation.
