visual project



Welcome to the Soil Dreams. What does happen if you take topsoil off and leave the land for 7 years? Take a tour and see, how land dreams.
This visual project studies how an unfinished plan to turn an arable land into a golf club changed the landscape. We propose to look at how soil erosion manifests the intersections between global tourist industry, financial flows and developers’ dreams. 
The tour repeats the golf game pattern, we follow from one hole to another. The order of holes and short two-line technical descriptions are taken from an original presentation of the golf club in the web.

The first and main impression from the place is that it is silent, abandoned and empty. But the soil left uncovered does not stay unchanged. Hopes of people and dreams of soil create a special atmosphere, which is nothing about emptiness and void framed by the absence of capital and interest of investors.
