- Summary
- LAND takes the reader on a journey through a mythological America, a landscape of the mind with room for grandiose fabrications about everything from ghostly lights in the desert to iconic car crashes to the longing all the way to the unreachable horizon. The publication sits comfortably between essay collection, coffee table book and documentary travelogue. Inspired by a series of road trips in Texas and the neighboring state of New Mexico, LAND addresses our common relationship with the landscape and the various man-made constructions that are found in it. The so-called Land art, or earth art as it is called in DK, plays a central role in the book. The tour goes past the American artist Robert Smithson's last work Amarillo Ramp and the iconic Cadillac Ranch, but in between these rural locations there will also be time to visit country music's outlaws, distant galaxies and the Pacific Ocean's salty blanket for the sun. LAND is a declaration of love for Americana, a both dark and bright dream vision of the attractive forces of the landscape and the scenes that haunt us all across time and place
