Known for his large-scale artworks on stretches of bare sand and dry lake beds, Jim Denevan is ever searching for the perfect ephemeral canvas. Which is why, when the Anthropologist
commissioned a project from Denevan in March 2010, he and
his team traveled thousands of miles to etch his particular brand of artwork on the frozen surface of the world’s largest lake,
Siberia’s Lake Baikal. Enduring sub-zero temperatures and
blistering winds, the five participants inscribed the ice with
a series of circles based on the Fibonacci sequence (where
each number is the sum of the previous two). The finished
artwork — akin to a series of crop circles in its astonishing size and symmetry — is the largest ever created.
Captured here in an extensive retrospective of photographs
(by Jake Burghart and Peter Hinson) and in the accompanying documentary film (by director Meredith Danluck) this
extraordinary book covers the highs and lows, the comedy
and the drama, as well as the final ephemeral work itself.
