The installation “Moving Mountains” quotes a classical triptych in which the process of globalization of a piece of lawn is steered by the (hedonist) appraisal of the observers. Real estate value and estimated value, or appraisal, are the parameters guiding a search for correspondences in economically and socially relevant data; in this way the piece of lawn “stains” the world, transforming a piece of nature into culture.
