Nomad
Nov 11, 2017 - Anna Reivilä
I think myself more as an land artist than a photographer. First thing that attracted me in land art was the element of danger. You go to see a site like Michael Heizer and you risk your life. Because you have to go there, and if you are not there it could be that you are lost. There is no reference. So you become kind of nomad. And the idea of nomad is very important for me. The idea that you bring your bags on your back, and you go around, you survive, and you find your way of leaving.
