This installation establishes an optical exercise extended into a landscape format. Field is a continuous and homogenous installation of 2800 red sacks filled with straw (21” wide x 32” high) that covered the entire Arts Quad of the Cornell University Campus, in Ithaca (NY). The sacks were distributed in a 10 feet by 10 feet regular grid that followed the natural slope of the ground surface.

Color dots arranged in a regular formation examine the formal properties of the agricultural fields in reference to the past history of the site. The project establishes a translation of the geometrical geography that is necessary for productive agricultural labors and, at the same time, it depicts the overlap between that original field morphology with a sort of physical impossibility of making an idealized, Cartesian and abstract pattern. Ultimately, this exercise reclaims the centrality of the Arts Quad’s openness with an inclusive and non-hierarchical spatial structure.
