„Pitch of Colored sand” ( beach soccer version) is a project that will bind together unique design and a popular games such volleyball or beach soccer, which are Olympic disciplines. Surface of a pitch is designed in a way to let the different patches of colored sand mix together during the games. Separated colors are gradually mixing, forming new colors as it happens in distribution of a white-light spectrum. This is providing a soft process of color transition. Pitches constructed by this design could be used during a summer periods. Matches played on these pitches would gain another valor – visual but also tactile. Wide range of fractions of quartz is been used in this type of projects starting from 0.5mm up to 5 mm. Players and spectators would be a part of permanent happening cause of constant change of the pitch surface, so any of the matches would be the same. Competition itself would get playful and ludic attitudes, which will exaggerate media’s footage and possibly increase interest on a wider scale. Footage can be redone in time because of entropic nature of a project where new shapes and forms due to appear after every match played.
Within a matter of unique design and richness of colors, viewers can draw their attention to the pitch itself and witness the whole progress in time.
“In this installation, the idea is to redefine the game beyond the competitive pressure of the professional sports in their training and championships, focusing on the game as the interplay of human relations and performativity. The body’s creative interaction with the city challenges a normative function of the city’s topography, resituating the performative act in the center of everyday life”. Denise Carvalho
