1000 M3 of excavated soil for an ENSP Earthworks workshop

Simon Boudvin, artist and teacher at ENSP, led a first EARTHWORKS workshop in partnership with ECT. The aim of the workshop? 4 days to design and create a work of art using 1000 m3 of soil.

For this workshop, attended by some thirty students from the Ecole de Paysage de Versailles, ECT provided a site, inert soil, a bulldozer and its operator.

What’s at stake? They are many and varied:

  • Rediscovering the conceptual roots of Land Art
  • Understanding this landscape rebuilt with inert soil
  • Creating a landscape-scale object

The gamble paid off! A new landscape appears!
