“If you make some contribution at all, it’s very very hard to predict, in terms of perpetuity, what’s going to last and what’s not. Let’s just say that this kind of work means that there’s a chance.” — Richard Serra.
In the Summer of 2021, the Glenstone Museum reached out to us to record the herculean transport and installation of a new, truly massive Richard Serra sculpture made of four 82-ton steel cylinders titled Four Rounds: Equal Weigh, Unequal Measure. We didn’t know at the time, but that was just the beginning of a two year journey capturing and exploring the dialogue between nature and art, evanescence and perpetuity, as Glenstone installed this striking sculpture so heavy it commanded its own building be built around it, designed by Thomas Phifer and Partners. Evoking Stonehenge and the Egyptian tombs, the sculpture calls into question not only the legacy of Richard Serra but of humanity itself.
