“
Rather than being a journal of my seeing, it is about your
seeing… I would just like to take you and put you in
front of this mountain in a way you couldn’t miss it. It’s
all that I can hope for and that way there is a possibility
that the same kind of delight of seeing that happens to
me, could happen to you.
”
James Turrell talking about his Roden Crater Project

“
depict movement as an indivisible reality, rather than a
sequence of static poses ... We are not interested in the
precise reconstruction of movement, which has already
been broken up and analysed. We are involved only in
the area of movement which produces sensation, the
memory of which still palpitates in our awareness
