Ringen aan zee / Rings by the sea

The iconic beach landscape “Ringen aan zee” by Bruno Doedens.

Twenty sand rings of approximately 150 by 300 meters were built up on 12 February 2018 by two silver-colored excavators. Based on GPS, the machines ‘see’ where and how to dig. After more than a week, the first, inner rings were visible – are no less than two and a half meters high. To the outside, the rings are getting lower, up to 1.20 meters. It is estimated that the 150 by three-hundred-meter sand artwork was completely finished after two weeks.

The twenty rings represent 200 years of bathing culture at Scheveningen – The Hague. Sand, wind, air, water. Like nature itself, the artwork will not look exactly the same for a day.
