Earth Cinema

Earth Cinema is a 45m long deep cut into the landscape, where people can enter from both sides. Inside, a long opening enables the visitors to “view” the landscape and feel as a part of it.
It is a 7m wide opening at the bottom: Kapoor invites visitors to rediscover the sound, the echo of the Mother Earth, and to find a picture onto the screen, at the centre of the side where no moving figures appear, except for reflection and shadows of the overlying vegetation.

The work is a new artistic point of view on the area, inviting the viewer to observe it from the inside. “It is a work with architectural scale and requires a kind of physical response, it is not made only to be looked at but it is an actual experience to live … The idea is the inside of the earth, a cave… somehow you know that is not a natural cave but some kind of man-made cavity … there is a dialogue between culture and nature”.
