Synopsis
Robert Smithson's Spiral Jetty, a monumental land sculpture completed in 1970, emerges from the Great Salt Lake in Utah. Filmmaker James Benning captures this iconic artwork in two thirty-minute segments filmed on a single day, at 8:57 AM and 3:12 PM. The film presents unblinking, unmoving takes that invite contemplation of the Jetty's relationship with its environment. This work acts as a digital companion to Benning's earlier film, "casting a glance" (2007), reflecting on nature and human interaction with the land.
