"The land is regarded as a living entity. Uluru (Ayers Rock), the vast mass of red rock in the Northern Territory, is called the navel of the earth. The Aborigines talk of djang, supernatural earth wisdom. Myths account for the formation of sacred sites, such as Uluru, which are still recalled in story and song, and in the telling connection is made, like switching on a light, with the ever-present energy.” *

ULURU, OUTDOORS IN NATURE, SLIDES PROJECTION ON WHITE SHEETS AND WIND, NEW YORK, 1997

In 2024, I realized that ULURU, an outdoor slide projection on white sheets and wind presented in 1997, was, in fact, a piece of land art. While researching the myth of Cassandra’s—a woman fated by Apollo to utter true prophecies but never to be believed—I came across an encyclopedia of magic and ancient wisdom by Cassandra Eason.** In a chapter dedicated to Aboriginal Australian Dreamtime, when reading that Uluru is seen as “the navel of the earth,” I had an epiphany. I understood that what I had done already then in 1997 was an art piece, and I was also able to see its meaning and connection with the current Dentes du Midi (2018). Both are spiritual mountains carrying a Planetary connection: Dentes du Midi as “one of the seven doors to the center of the Earth” and Uluru as “the navel of the Earth.” Both works can be seen as liminal land art, apprehending a meaningful Nature, a substantiation of the amalgamation of Humans with Nature.
