Field Work is a site-responsive project set within a disused quarry, a scarred landscape first claimed by industrial extraction, then unofficially reoccupied by local communities, and now—slowly, mutely—being reclaimed by nonhuman life. This palimpsest of use, abandonment, and rewilding becomes the stage for a temporary intervention: a series of actions, recordings, and situated reflections that seek neither to restore nor to monumentalise, but to observe the subtle theatre of entropy and return. The project engages with a form of eco-nostalgia, not in longing for a pristine past, but in recalling the exploratory spirit of post-war artists like Hans Haacke and Robert Smithson—figures who approached land as both medium and message, with a strange blend of hutzpah, humour, and critical ambition. Field Work revisits that energy with what might be called neo-heroicism—an attempt to engage the damaged landscape not with irony or despair, but with a renewed (if fragile) sense of agency and wonder. Through photographic documentation, performative gestures, and field recording, the project reads the quarry not as ruin but as rehearsal—a rehearsal for new forms of life, cohabitation, and artistic responsibility in the Anthropocene. It is a quiet claim for the value of going outside again—not to conquer, but to listen.
