Abstract

Presentation of the dossier The strata of the Earth is a jumbled museum, gathering the ideas of artist Robert Smithson, and updating them in relation to the climate emergency debate and the emergence of the Anthropocene, as well as our own idea of ‘entropic landscape’, developed in contact with the artist’s production. Throughout the text, we introduce the dossier’s material, connecting it to other bibliographic and artistic references.
