OCCASIONAL SIGHTS



'The book guides the reader to sites in London where fleeting and memorable things have been noticed but are no longer there. It is an anti-guidebook in the sense of memorials and palaces. Its footnotes guide the reader around the bibliography, which has been walked as meanderingly as the streets.'

Although not directly relevant to Land art, i found this book very interesting in the way in which it records sights, sounds and information about the surroundings. I like that all these components were also temporary, like many other art forms this peice allows the beholder to see the surroundings in a different light altogether. I have found this is the general motif of land art.
