Description
"We have seen the changes at a speed we never imagined": A small paradise on earth, the bay of Lancieux is the scene of a century-old struggle between man and the sea. In March 2020, a a breach appeared in the dike that had, until then, protected polders reclaimed from the sea. Rather than repairing it for the umpteenth time, the Conservatoire du littoral decided to let it go. The experiment consists of anticipating the effects of sea level rise by accompanying its return to polderised areas. IMAGES AND SOUNDBITES ARRANGED IN SEQUENCES
