A video incorporating the original film footage is now to be completed on behalf of the Land Art Contemporary program in a collaboration between artist Nancy Holt and curator Theo Tegelaers of SKOR.
Nancy Holt and Robert Smithson made several films together and were married for a decade until his death in 1973. Holt will work with a Dutch team in editing the video Breaking Ground: Broken Circle/Spiral Hill (1971 - 2011), which will include the original film footage she shot in 1971, and video shot recently in Emmen by a Dutch crew. The video will be made guided by Smithson's film notes and drawings.
Camera: Nancy Holt (1971), Benito Strangio (2011)
Editors: Nancy Holt, Theo Tegelaers (SKOR | Foundation for Art and Public Domain), Walter Stokman Films
