What's that huge white line behind Andorra la Vella on the side of the mountain ???


ANDORRA LAND ART

MIQUEL MERCÈ - LONGITUDED WITHOUT WIDTH


The aim of this piece is to create a gesture in a landscape that is rigid, geometric, precise or synthetic due to its matter, colour and shape. It is a straight line, as such does not exist in nature, in a bright colour. In fact its chosen hue is the most “anti natural” colour possible and completely contrasts with the existing mixed landscape, which is made up of tones of grey, green and orange.

This line not only raises our awareness of the reality of this landscape in our country; it breaks down that highly marked and contrasted border between the urban world and the natural world. Measuring 3 x 150 metres, the piece is located and fastened to the very stones of the Tartera de Carroi scree.


LOCATION



The scree known as the “Tartera de Carroi” is located on the south slope of the Pic de Carroi summit, north of the country’s capital city. It is a place with a 40º gradient, formed by land and loose rock slides, which give it particularly special characteristics. Sitting at an altitude of between 1,155 and 1,322 metres, the actual length of the scree is 300 m, and the width is 92 m, making for an approximate total surface area of 27,600 m2.
