Götzis | Ephemeral Interventions in Nature: Works Left as Photographs

Using only materials found on site, without any tools or adhesives, create a precise geometric form in nature: fallen leaves arranged by color gradient into a circular pattern, icicles melted together to form a ring passing through a stone, branches woven into a sphere suspended over a stream, or stone flakes stacked into an egg shape. Once completed, the work is soon carried away by tides, melting snow, wind, or decay, existing for a period ranging from hours to days. The colors of the materials come from the season itself, without any artificial coloring. The surroundings are untamed woodland, stream valleys, or coastlines. Photograph in soft natural light, showing the tension between the artificial geometry and the surrounding disorder. Avoid: using tape, wire, or other foreign materials, making the work permanent, adding signage, imprecise geometry.

以現場找得到的材料,不使用任何工具與黏著劑,在自然中做出一件精確的幾何:落葉依顏色深淺排成漸層的圓,冰柱被融接成穿過石頭的環,枝條編成懸在溪上的球,石片堆成一個蛋形。作品完成後隨即被潮水、融雪、風或腐爛帶走,存在的時間從數小時到數天不等。材料的顏色來自季節本身,不加任何人工色。周圍為未經整理的林地、溪谷或海岸。柔和的自然光下拍攝,人工的幾何與周圍的無序形成張力。避免:使用膠帶、鐵絲等外來材料、作品做成永久性、加設標示、幾何不精確。
