Mont Blanc  meaning "White Mountain", is the highest mountain in the Alps, Western Europe, and the European Union. It rises 4,810.45 m (15,782 ft)^[2] above sea level and is ranked 11th in the world in topographic prominence. It is also sometimes known as La Dame blanche(French for "the White Lady") or Il Bianco (Italian for "the White One").

Sylvain Meyer is a Swiss contemporary artist who is influenced by Land Art. Land art is all about how the created elements relate to it's environment, the work almost seem to belong to the landscape.This work was done in isolation and solitude only to be captured in time through photography, it was not an interactive piece.The context for this work is in Mt Blanc in the European Alps.

I would like to explore the re-interpretion of this work by re-creating this work on Lea Point beach that the general public can interact with and participate in. This is a completely different artistic context as the tropical build up top end environment is a starc contrast to that of the European Alps. The original work that was done in isolation and solitude will be replaced by the work being a public piece where people can interact and participate in. 

I then intend to photograph it and document how the piece interacts with the Darwin landscape, light and the general public.
