To rule the beach is an installation in which a series of objects
based on the shape and implications of the sandruler is presented in a
slightly site specific shelf system. Sandrulers are circular field
measuring tools with sandsamples that can be used to estimate the
grain size of encountered sand. They also help humanity to determine
when grains stop being sand and start being fine gravel or silt.
Whether this particular collection of sandruler-like objects can be
considered useful as a set of tools is questionable. The rulers
contain beachcombing samples from trips to Scheveningen beach and
wonder when the beachy material walked upon can be considered sand and
when it becomes something else.
