Land Art / Earthworks

Land Art, also known as Earthworks, is a form of artistic expression where artists create large-scale works directly in natural landscapes, using materials like soil, rocks, and organic matter. These installations often interact with the environment, emphasizing the relationship between humans and nature. Land Art challenges traditional art boundaries by integrating the landscape itself as part of the artwork, encouraging viewers to experience art on a monumental scale and fostering a deeper connection to the natural world. Notable examples include Robert Smithson's Spiral Jetty and Nancy Holt’s Sun Tunnels.
