They create a visual dialogue between nature and their artificial elements inserted into the terrain or suspended above the ground. The artists proceed to document the scene in photographs that reveal a spectacular view of the surrounding landscape. The sky is surreally reflected in a jagged mirror on the ground and mounds of dirt are simulated on another reflective surface that pierces the atmosphere.”
