Pay attention to the number of ways in which you encounter humans’ interaction with nature and the physical land. Write these down. Using these as inspiration, describe an idea for a piece of “land art” that you might create that would be documented by a photograph. Describe an idea for a piece of “land art” that you might make in a man-made landscape that would be documented by a photograph.
Camping, climbing trees, digging holes, construction, cutting down trees, swimming, boating, hunting, hiking,
I would consider road construction a way in which humans interact with nature. The workers must dig through the land and depending on what's underneath, do different things to create the road. I'm not too familiar with road construction, but I assume the presence of clay or the amount of clay in the ground affects them. Also, if the ground is very wet, it might drastically change. Or if they find something in the dirt that could be scientifically or historically significant. I think photographing a piece made on a construction site would be interesting, because the piece would surely be taken down and would then only exist as a photo.
