A temporary installation that marked the continual elemental erosion of the landscape, capturing the geological tension between sea and cliff-face. Sited on the cliff-top horizon west of Birling Gap, VANISHING POINT stood next to a Bronze Age tumulus above the ancient valley of Michel Dean, a glaciated river bed carved out by torrents of melt-water 100,000 years ago. Visible from beach, sea and headlands, VANISHING POINT was made from greenwood and chalk daub, its substance and structure inspired by the archaeological and geological history of the landscape. Birling Gap is in a state of constant transformation, eroding at a rate of half a metre per year. The installation stood on a future line of erosion, one day to be the cliff edge; a vanishing point, when the land beneath our feet will have fallen into the sea. VANISHING POINT ended with a final event on September 24th with Parmin Ras, bringing GEOGRAPH full circle.
