elements: earth iii

Posted by
daniela (Berlin, Germany) on 27 January 2011 in Art & Design and Portfolio.

Land-art I found last summer just outside the walls of the small & old town of Fürstenwerder, Brandenburg.
Some (sadly unnamed) sculptor took a boulder and carved many hand-prints as a high relief all over and polished them.
I thought that to be very impressive, for it shows the longlasting connection of our species to the earth. It also is kind of quoting the stone-age art of painting handprints on cave-walls.

We aren´t so progressed as we like us to be I think ;)
We never stopped working with stones, we now rely on Silicium /silicon as our extended memory, haha.
[ Yes, I know, silicon is a metalloid, but it is usually found in the form of silicon dioxide (aka quartz), and other silicate minerals....]
Nothing new under the sun - depends only on the point of view, as usual.
