A Circle in Alaska 1977

"A Circle in Alaska" (1977) is a black and white photograph by Richard Long, known for his Land Art pieces. The photo depicts a simple, circular arrangement of driftwood on a beach in Alaska. This work, typical of Long's oeuvre, focuses on the relationship between nature and human intervention. The minimal composition emphasizes the natural elements of the landscape, with the circle acting as a deliberate mark of human presence within this vast, untouched environment.
