WILD PLACE / PIER<br />
DEAD SEA / ISRAEL<br />
MARCH SCHOOL / TWO WEEK WORKSHOP<br />

SEMESTER I – INDIVIDUAL WORK<br />
PROF. NADEJDA KORBUT<br />
Within the framework of the project “Wild Place,” we were told to choose a<br />
place, any point on the planet that does not contain visible signs of human<br />
activity or urbanization. I chose the shore of the Dead Sea. In addition to the<br />
nature of this place as a whole, I was interested in the fact that the water level<br />
drops by about a meter every year. Thus, my project of a pier is a promenadesculpture,<br />
rather than a functional necessity. The pier will be devoured by the<br />
salt at an incredible speed, and in the future, when the salty desert remains<br />
in place of the sea, the pier will become a reminder of what once was.<br />
The main idea of this project is that the pier should be alive. Its length<br />
will increase as the water level recedes. It was essential to create the most<br />
straightforward construction as possible so that any resident could take up<br />
construction. Also, an important detail is that at any stage, the end of the<br />
pier should be in the water. This will allow the pier to absorb the chemical<br />
composition of the water, thus tethering it to this place.<br />
