In Denmark you are never more than 50 kilometres away from the coast which has always influenced the lives and identity of the Danes. It is a workplace, a breathing space, a political battleground and a turist attraction. However, the coast is ever-changing and brings both conflicts and value. This project investigates how we as society affect the coast and explores the relationship and tension between man and nature. Denmark has one the longest coastline in Europe although it is one of the smallest countries. The 7.500 kilometres of coast in Denmark has remained almost untouched the last century with free public access. But the coasts are under pressure and risk dramatic changes while society is also threatened by nature.
