Brackish Water Area
Brackish Water Area means an area where the river flows into the sea, mixing fresh water with seawater. It is a place where the flow of water in the river collides with the flood tide of the sea. The idea of a brackish water area gives us a metaphor―a metaphor of encountering, conflicting and/or mixing two things: mountain and sea culture, the local and the global, the reality of war and the *message of peace. Like a brackish water area where we find a unique and rich biotic community, Hiroshima Art Project 2008 will create a site of interaction among different things.
