BLACK ROCK AT THE BEACH IN rEynIsFjArA

Trapped between floods, majestically braving the waves, there lies a black rock. Huge and mighty like a monolith, it rises above the changing of the tides. This is not only a product but a relict of the earth’s history: an archaic sculpture, with its impressive momentum and kinetic energy, contrasted against the delicate structures and forms of this high-tech product. We pulled out all the stops to capture this magnificent sense of tension in an image. It takes a lorry many hours of work and loads of patience until the picture composition is perfect; a meeting of individualists, coalesced together to form “land art” along with plenty of “black magic”.
