PHASE 1

CONCRETE CORAL by Leandro Erlich

Concrete Coral is the underwater incarnation of Leandro Erlich’s Order of Importance, a site specific traffic jam displayed in Miami Beach during Art Basel 2019. As opposed to sand cars shown on the beach, these submarine sculptures do not degrade over time. Instead, they will be colonizing life and merging with the natural environment. Our fear of “being underwater” as a natural consequence of climate change will also be transmuted into the generation of new homes for underwater lifeforms and the development of a new ecosystem.
