THE STRANDLINE, PERFORMANCE
29 March, 4pm
Meet at Erskine River Swing Bridge picnic area
The Strandline explores the intertidal zone of Lorne beach, what it has been and will become. Emerging from the swampy floodplain of the ancient Otway basin, where dinosaurs roamed along fast flowing rivers, a unique marine creature lives on the harsh edges of tidal habitat. As the swamps have become ranges through tectonic uplifting, and the shoreline reaches towards its final release point from Antarctica, we find ourselves in a place between tides and times. As we continue to drift north and the shore platform imperceptibly retreats, considering the deep geological time of this region, what is the future you can imagine for this place?
