Wheatfield Inspired by Artist Agnes Denes & The Shard Marshland
This video was inspired by land artist Agnes Denes and her seminal project “Wheatfield - A Confrontation” ... In 1982 she planted 2 acres of wheat in lower Manhattan, on some of the most expensive real estate on the planet (valued then at $4.5bn). The World Trade Center and even the Statue of Liberty can be seen across the wheat field in the original photos. After 4 months she harvested the wheat and went on tour with the harvested grain, protesting what she referred to as “mismanagement, waste, world hunger, and ecological concerns. It called attention to our misplaced priorities.” For more info please see Wheatfield - A Confrontation
