THE EARTH WITHOUT ART IS JUST "EH"
1. Nature's Own Artwork: A weathered stone stands daringly on the edge of a cliff like a contemplating monk, with a red and white tower in the background and blue sky above. The balanced placement of the stone creates an exciting contrast between the hard elements and the soft horizon.
2. Challenge to Gravity: A round boulder rests mysteriously on the rocky ledge, defying the laws of physics. The signal structure rising in the background brings a modern touch to this timeless arrangement, where a heavy stone appears to float lightly in place.
3. Meeting of Opposites: An ancient stone and a modern tower create an intriguing dialogue in the landscape. The rough, nature-sculpted stone stands in contrast to the geometric man-made tower, both reaching toward the sky in their own way.
Ollipekka Kangas explores several themes in his art that relate to nature and the environment, though he is not specifically categorized only as an environmental artist. Kangas's work, especially his experimental photography, explores themes of time and environmental change:
- He uses solarigraphic photography, which involves ultra-long exposures (up to six months) to capture the movement of the sun across the sky3
- This technique allows him to document environmental changes and celestial movements in a unique artistic way
