FRAME captures City by Michael Heizer, pioneer of the Earthworks movement, a monumental sculpture realised in Central Eastern Nevada between 1970 and 2022, when it was opened to the public. A mile and a half long and inspired by ancient ritual cities, it is made from rocks, sand and concrete extracted and mixed on site.
