"'Reclamation' projects have become a vehicle for quick profit: a simplistic approach to architecture, urban development and territorial agency. Sand-fuelled greed." - Justinien Tribillon

Today on Magnum: We premiere a new chapter in Magnum nominee @chiyin_sim's ongoing 'Shifting Sands' project, which explores the booming international trade in sand, and its grave implications. Link in bio.

PHOTO: Marketed as the “Dubai of China”, the “Ocean Flower Island” off the coast of Hainan province in China’s far south, is one of several massive land reclamation projects in the country which has raised eyebrows and led to China’s strongest crackdown ever against land reclamation in the country this year. Beijing has called for a halt to all unapproved commercial land reclamation projects across the country for environmental impact assessment. The “Ocean Flower Island” comprises three artificial islands in the sea measuring 7.83 square kilometers, which is 1.4 times the size of Palm Jumeirah, the man-made island in Dubai. Set in the impoverished, industrial city of Danzhou, “Ocean Flower Island” is being sold as a site for sea-front apartments and for tourism. China. 2018. From "Shifting Sands", 2017-on-going.
