Point Nemo

Fantasiestrand is owned by Theun Mosk and Oceanic. It has become a beautiful, but ominous place; a technological landscape where light and dark contrast again and again. Wander through this landscape and discover how light and dark become almost tangible: an uncanny, but also aesthetic experience, supported by a ten-minute composition that suddenly appears from the landscape. In this way, unpredictable nature and human impact are interwoven with an interplay of synthetic and organic sound.

The artwork is inspired by an existing place: in the middle of the Pacific Ocean lies Point Nemo, a normally serene place at sea, but which also serves as a graveyard for spaceships. This place is the furthest point on Earth from land. The idea behind this is that potential hazards or pollution have minimal impact on humanity. Every now and then the pristine darkness of the sea is fiercely broken by mechanical structures that fall to the ground. The ISS will also soon meet its end here, when the International Space Station crashes here for good.

Point Nemo on Almere's Fantasy Beach exudes the same tension and contradiction: technological light lines and fault lines emerge from the sand, dark depths appear and visitors become silhouettes, as if the 'made' urban nature can suddenly be wildly and capriciously disrupted. For the composition, Oceanic collaborated with singer Greetje Bijma.
