Abstract
Michael Heizer's land arts and outdoor sculptures are not concerned with the context of the site in terms of site selection; the site is for him simply a suitable place to put his art. What role does the site play in his artistic practice and how does he interfere with it? This article aims to use case studies and the author's reflective art practice to explore the elements that are present and missing in Heizer's art scene. The emphasis of this article lies in the body's engagement with the conflicts on the site of art creation. The findings of this article reveal the unique experience of the artist and the viewer on the site, which is triggered by the contradictions between presence and absence. And, the author's art practice, confirms the reshaping effect of absence on the site.
