SUBURBAN DESERT
Large sand slopes cover an impressive area of 800 by 2400 meters in the middle of a densely populated suburb, confronting the inhabitants of Everyville with an enormous open landscape in their infinite suburban world. Due to its exotic appearance it gives the anonymous village a strong identity and coherence. It is a place of nothing but sand and stories. The constantly changing dunes silently erase every footmark, every trace of history. This urban desert remains empty and always recreates its serene sandy hills in the middle of this bustling megalopolis.
