terrain vague

a sculptural landscape, or terrain vague, made of over thirty tonnes of soil, you are invited to be a steward of the land (alongside clay, little ones, microscopic insects, artists, ancestors …) and to be part of composing a space of transmutation, where spirit is summoned through sonic, embodied, and imagined yearnings.
