Cesar | Intertidal Pool: Concrete Walls and the Sea Share Equally

The pool is not built on the rocky shore, but embedded within it: several low, long walls of exposed concrete follow the existing rock layers, leaving irregular gaps between the walls and the rocks. One side of the pool water is an artificial straight line, while the other side is directly natural black rock formations. The height of the walls is only slightly above an adult's waist; standing, one can see the sea, but sitting, only the sky remains. As the tide rises and falls, it will flow over the outer rocks, changing the boundary between the pool and the sea over time. There are only two materials: concrete and rock, no tiles, no railings, no decorations. Shoot from a low angle along the long wall from the poolside, with the wall, water surface, and distant sea horizon forming three horizontal lines. Avoid: metal railings and life-saving facilities, leveling the rocks, tiling the walls, adding tropical plants such as palms.

泳池不蓋在岩岸上,而是嵌進岩岸裡:幾道低矮的清水混凝土長牆順著既有的岩層走,牆與岩石之間留下不規則的縫隙,池水的一邊是人造的直線,另一邊直接是天然的黑色岩塊。牆的高度只到成人腰部以上一點,人站著看得見海,坐下就只剩天空。海潮在漲退時會漫過外側的岩石,讓池與海的界線隨時間改變。材料只有兩種:混凝土與岩石,沒有磁磚、沒有欄杆、沒有裝飾。低角度從池畔沿著長牆拍攝,牆、水面與遠方海平線疊成三條水平線。避免:出現金屬欄杆與救生設施、把岩石整平、牆面貼磚、加入棕櫚等熱帶植栽。
