    Pillage of the Sea
    Artist: Rosa Barba

    'Cairns' have adorned our landscape since time immemorial. They emerge like heaped stones; turrets as handy anchor points for lost hikers. In different cultures they have a spiritual meaning. Especially in Japan they are seen as ceremonial or sacred places of reflection. Standing at the balancing stones, man acknowledges that he is at the mercy of nature and softly whispers wishes to her. Rosa Barba anchors such an enlarged cairn in Ostend. She imitates the stones by pouring concrete into textiles: a technique that promises flexibility for the architects and designers of tomorrow. The textile is reminiscent of the shape of sandbags, with which Barba creates a kind of imaginary dam against future sea level rise.

      The sculpture acts as a kind of gauge for climate change, while the ebb and flow of the tide determine how much of the work of art is visible.
