a human figure moves a landscape of salt and light

We have arrived in an era where man is the main producer of geological change. In []RemoTe sense[] a human figure moves a landscape of salt and light. As a sculptor he shapes the piece of land the way he envisions it. Not technically but manually. His work is laborious in the literal sense of a ‘hands on’ action; a mining in salt. Simple and bodily.

'Remote sense’ refers to a way of sensing or touching that is remote; far, indirect, distant in space and time. It stems from ‘remote sensing’, a technology that deals with obtaining information about an object, phenomena or area without making physical contact. In contrast with observation and exploration on site, aerial sensor technologies sent out from airplanes, satellites or drones are used. Like the sculptor in the salt, they lay bare and bring to surface landscapes that would otherwise remain hidden.
