Description
Heinz Mack was always far ahead of his time: His reflector walls and plantations of lamellae devised 65 years ago anticipate present-day photovoltaic installations. His study of air, water, light and sand helps to reflect the acute threat to natural resources. While the artist saw desert landscapes as empty, free spaces for his Land Art, today the Arctic and the Sahara symbolize climate change and the destruction of nature. This multi-faceted, far-seeing publication shows Heinz Mack as an artist of the 21st century.
