"The social, economic, and political issues generated by the commercial exploitation of sands remain little known and relatively underreported in the media" - Justinien Tribillon
.
Magnum nominee @chiyin_sim’s ongoing project, 'Shifting Sands', examines the global hunger for sand, and the ill-regulated, under-documented industry it has fed. Today on Magnum, Justinien Tribillon – urbanist, architectural writer and editor of The Migrant Journal – reflects upon the project’s latest chapter. Link in bio.

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. Among the foreign companies listed as involved in the Ocean Flower project are Hilton hotels, Chicago-based Saltan Architects, ThemeParX, a global theme park consultancy. China. 2018. From "Shifting Sands", 2017-on-going.
