RICHARD LONG

Considered one of the leading exponents of Land Art for his symbiotic relationship with the territory, in reality Richard Long has often dissociated himself from this label as he does not share the approach of Land Art artists to the territory, one that is very different to his own guiding philosophy whereby man does not distort nature, but interacts with it at his own measure.
The artist’s steps become a yardstick, while walking becomes trace and time, and creating sculptures in isolated places is a creative gesture linked to his own ability to move stones of a certain size and so form a work which, left on site, will perhaps be seen by others, while the resulting photographic work and texts lay bare to us the path he has followed to arrive at the final result.
