Tue Greenfort

Tue Greenfort puts our body and senses into play in a magnificent and ephemeral scenography on Blåvandshuk Beach, where man's relationship with nature, its scale and components are the focal point. The monumental installation is created on site from materials such as sand and seashells from the beach and integrates into the site's natural cycle as part of the local ecosystem.
