Om projektet står skrevet på kunstnerens hjemmeside: "In 2008 the Sahara Desert would be included in the Pink State project. Despite a broken leg (in pink plaster!) Evaristti and his team ventured out into the desert. With his base in a Bedouin camp, he searched a larger area and found his sandbank at a place where the infinitely large landscape of the Sahara just becomes visible and Evaristti could carry out some colour tests in the sand. The empheralness of the Pink State project was particularly clear here. Half of the sand had been blown away by the following day. But this very empheralness is vital for the Pink State concept. In acknowledgement of the conflicts resulting from the demand for a right to a specific piece of land, Pink State determines the expiry date of its existence
