MAN. Mar, Arte, Natureza (MAN, Sea, Art and Nature) is a CGAC project that develops a tourism product that is rooted in the Galician seaside town of Camelle, through the enhancement and recovery of the artistic legacy of Manfred Gnädinger, known by everyone as Man de Camelle (Man of Camelle), and which was almost entirely carried out in the area of the town's port.
The artist and his work made the town of Camelle famous worldwide, to the extent that it is practically impossible to find information on the Internet about this location that does not make reference to Man, and vice-versa. The enhancement and recovery of Man's legacy includes the port of Camelle and its environs, where Man not only created, but which were also his home and his own spontaneous museum project.
Man's work over the years in the area of the Camelle breakwater was destroyed by vandals and by the weather catastrophes that recently affected the area. The work that survives in the museum-garden, the only seaside sculpture garden in the world, does not represent its original state; the digital 3-D simulation of this unique work would enable visitors to view it through smart technology, allowing them to see the original the ideal state of the pieces that made up the ensemble, and would provide access to its features through augmented reality.
At the Casa do Alemán, property of the town council, the conversion into a museum of part of Man's work is being carried out, in such a way that visitors can access an area for the interpretation of this complex work.
