Pine Barrens: Trees, 1975
Wikipedia - "Nancy Holt (April 5, 1938 – February 8, 2014) was an American artist most known for her public sculpture, installation art and land art. Throughout her career, Holt also produced works in other mediums, including film, photography, and writing artist’s books. ... Holt began her artistic career as a photographer and as a video artist. In 1974, she collaborated with fellow artist Richard Serra on Boomerang, in which he videotaped her listening to her own voice echoing back into a pair of headphones after a time lag, as she described the disorienting experience. Her involvement with photography and camera optics are thought to have influenced her later earthworks, which are 'literally seeing devices, fixed points for tracking the positions of the sun, earth and stars.' Today Holt is most widely known for her large-scale environmental works, Sun Tunnels and Dark Star Park. However, she created site and time-specific environmental works in public places all over the world. Holt contributed to various publications, which have featured both her written articles and photographs."
