CHRIS TANCOCK
Beaches are vitally about atmosphere
and kindled memories
“For the most part we do not first see, and then define, we define first and then see”
“we pick recognisable signs out of the environment. The signs stand for ideas, and these ideas we fill out with our stock of images. We do not so much see this man and that sunset; rather we notice that the thing is man or sunset, and then see chiefly what our mind is already full of on those subjects.”
Walter Lippmann
Beaches are also Habitats with diverse ecosystems
for the most part this is the invisible beach
a place rarely visited existing in a diferent dimension
seen mostly secondhand in documentaries
with voice overs and music
