Catalogue for the exhibitions at Museum für Gegenwartskunst Siegen, 4/3–3/5/2012, and Reykjavik Art Museum, Reykjavik, 17/1–13/4/2013. The Land Art project Broken Circle / Spiral Hill was initiated in 1971 on the occasion of the exhibition Sonsbeek 71 near Emmen in Holland. Smithson had also formulated his ideas for a film about this work for which he had already begun filming. Forty years on, the artist and Smithson’s widow, Nancy Holt has completed this film in conjunction with SKOR, Amsterdam. The book is a documentation of the exhibition which features three films as well as 50 sketches and photographs and which also specifically describes the relationship between earthwork sculpture and film in the context of Robert Smithson’s oeuvre.
