Boomerang Richard Serra, Nancy Holt "A key member of the Land Art movement, Nancy Holt is an artist whose works deal with the memory and perception of time and space. Like other Land Artists, Holt often uses the natural environment as both a medium and a subject for pieces that span a variety of mediums, including film, sculpture and installation. What sets Holt apart is her exploration of the celestial and cosmic, particularly the summer solstice, as well as her interest in land reclamation and re-use."

"Explaining her interest in incorporating the ephemeral yet regular nature of a solstice in her art, Holt once explained that her works are 'symbolic explorations of the passage of time and our relationship to the larger universe.' A figure whose early public art works helped to redefine art as something that could grapple with serious environmental issues and effect real change, Holt has created a body of work that has been becoming increasingly influential in the light of growing environmental concerns. Holt lives and works in Galisteo, New Mexico, where she is also the executor of Robert Smithson's estate." - Art We Love

The specific collaboration between Richard Serra and Nancy Holt in 1974 aired on public television and is a clip approximately 10 minutes long showing Ms. Holt describing the experience of talking while hearing her own voice played back to her with delay. What she describes of most interest is her inability to think clearly while this is being performed.
