Description: Double Negative is a renowned land art sculpture created by artist Michael Heizer in 1969-70, located in the Nevada desert. The artwork consists of two massive trenches cut into the edge of the Mormon Mesa, displacing 240,000 tons of rock. Each trench measures 30 feet wide, 50 feet deep, and 1,500 feet long, creating a striking visual and physical void in the landscape. Heizer's work challenges traditional notions of sculpture by integrating the natural environment and emphasizing absence as a form of presence, making it a seminal piece in the Land Art movement.
