At the Lightning Field

By Laura Raicovich

Book Overview

An exploration of coincidences of history, light, space, duration, chaos theory, mathematics, memory, and Walter De Maria's The Lightning Field.

Walter De Maria's The Lightning Field is four hundred stainless steel poles, positioned two hundred and twenty feet apart, in the desert of central New Mexico. Over the course of several visits, it becomes, for Raicovich, a site for confounding and revealing perceptions of time, space, duration, and light; how changeable they are, while staying the same.
