Land art is an artistic movement born at the end of the Sixties in the United States of America, in response to the operation and naturalisation of the landscape making it stronger and more destructive.
The artists come from the narrow and elitist museums and galleries, and "occupy" the territory where nature leaves its mark.
The works are often fleeting, made from natural materials and therefore perishable, it reaffirms the concept of the eternal renewal of nature.
The relation to space is on the whole, the work is the space, the sensor of the boundaries, the structure, and particular functionality. The reports in the scale between the actual size of the object and the background are often unable to cope with it.
The work of Luca Degara, the LEDRO LAND ART FESTIVAL
Nature itself is a work of art, as like the famous the installation, the Lightning Field by Walter de Maria in 1977, he has 400 steel rods into the ground acting like a driver with a flash. The effect is spectacular.
The work has become a cult of the earth and the art
The site-specific interventions on a large scale, the proportions and the size can expand, so over the top it, the eye of the beholder, often from the top, and at the same time, the work is experienced, from the inside: the public is involved in the work itself, it is defined and produces a short circuit that erases the distance between artist, viewer and object of art.

The force of the message, the lightness of the materials
The messages are very strong, they can have political connotations, the appeal of the surroundings, and sometimes, on the contrary, the reconstruction of the loss of the identity of a space, its use, and the relationship between man and landscape.
The work of the Polish artist Jaroslaw Koziara, lecture 2011 Landart-Festival, stands on the border between Poland and the Ukraine against the unreasonableness of the limits of the political and administrative, between Nations and between people. With his installation, a giant fish created by the sowing of different crops in a field, extends in the middle between the borders of Poland and Ukrainiane.
The Art, like nature, knows no boundaries

On the concept of impermanence in nature, but also to the question of sustainability-environmental art –works that the British artist Martin Hill works, the extreme lightness, when the connection is not with the object of art. The work, which can fade over time, the photographs are a testimony of the creative act.

The natural elements, water, light, an effect of dematerialization
The artist Alexandra Dior and Benedict Floquart think about the difficult question of the availability of water as a resource more and more criticism for many people.
