Appreciation towards  Photon (contact:guangzi@xiaodiqiu.cn ) for providing the following description:

 

我创造的是真火山，还是假火山？
如果它是假火山，却是用真土和真草做成。
如果它是真火山，它却不喷火和烟。
却选择了“喷人”。

我的爱豆让·波德里亚说：
“要使真实世界存在，
本质上就是生产那一世界，
真实只是拟真的一种形式。”

——大地艺术家光子

Is what I created a real volcano or a fake volcano?
If it’s a fake volcano, it’s made of real soil and real grass.
If it were a real volcano, it wouldn’t spew fire or smoke.
But chose to “spew people”.

My idol Jean Baudrillard said:
“For the real world to exist,
In essence, it is the production of that world,
Reality is just a form of simulation. “

——Land Artist Photon

大地艺术家光子，利用泥土和真草创造出两座直径10米，高3米和1米的火山，并在火山口内安置蹦床。当游客钻入火山玩蹦床时，会呈现出“人被火山喷发出来”的视觉效果和体验。

Land artist Photon used soil and real grass to create two volcanoes with a diameter of 10 meters and a height of 3 meters and 1 meter, and placed trampolines inside the craters.When tourists enter the volcano to play on the trampoline, they will have the visual effect and experience of “people being erupted by the volcano”.

这是2023年8月全新大地艺术作品《喷人的火山》，艺术家受小红书官方邀请创作，落地在小杭坑生态营地的永久作品。一个无论是孩子，青年，对全年龄段游客亲和友好的互动型大地艺术。绿色的，可呼吸的火山，与小杭坑治愈心灵的绿色山水完美融合在一起。（注：小杭坑为小红书自有线下文旅项目）

This is a new land art work “Erupting Volcano” in August 2023. The artist was officially invited by Xiaohongshu to create a permanent work in the Xiaohangkeng Ecological Camp. An interactive land art that is friendly to children and young people of all ages. The green, breathable volcano is perfectly integrated with the soul-healing green landscape of Xiaohangkeng. (Note: Xiaohangkeng is Xiaohongshu’s own offline tourism project)

是“假火山”，也是泥土和真草创造的“真火山”，它模糊了自然和人造的边界。“喷发”和“创造” 是火山的符号，如同地球原初，通过喷发创造出新的地形和生命的原古火山。“喷人的火山” 保留了火山完美的圆锥体视觉外观和符号含义，并创造出新的意义——“喷人”。人们从火山口里被喷发出来，感受简单的天真和快乐。那种纯粹，如同人类初次认识地球那样好奇和新鲜。野口勇希望用大地艺术和雕塑去创造超现实的乐园，让每个孩子都成为有创造力，思想开放的成年人。

我想我一生都在做的事，正是如此。不仅是孩子，每个人都需要这样的超现实乐园，奇迹一定会发生，以此共勉之。

It is a “fake volcano” and a “real volcano” created by soil and real grass. It blurs the boundaries between nature and man-made.”Eruption” and “creation” are symbols of volcanoes, just like the original volcanoes on the earth that created new terrain and life through eruptions.”Man erupted from a volcano” retains the perfect cone visual appearance and symbolic meaning of the volcano, and creates a new meaning – “erupted person”.People are erupted from the crater and experience simple innocence and joy. That kind of purity is as curious and fresh as when humans first get to know the earth.Isamu Noguchi once hoped to use land art and sculptures to create a surreal paradise, so that every child can become a creative, open-minded adult.

I think that’s what I’ve been doing my whole life. Not only children, but everyone needs such a surreal paradise. Miracles will definitely happen, so we can encourage each other.

另，大地艺术家光子和地球君，在成都还自投资自设计自运营了一个大地艺术主题的山谷：小绿球大地艺术营地。一个用大地艺术作为运营内容亮点，再用商业赚取的利润让艺术持续生长的共益企业模式，实践出了大地艺术除了地方政府主导的大地艺术节/阿那亚和麓湖等文旅地产的第三条存在路径。

In addition, land artists Photon and Earthman also invested, designed, and operated a land art-themed valley in Chengdu:XiaoLvqiu Earth Art Safari. A Benefit Corporation model that uses land art as the highlight of its operations and uses profits earned from business to continue the development of art. They have practiced the third path for the existence of land art in China: these two models in addition to the land art festival led by local governments and cultural tourism real estate such as Aranya and LUXELAKES。
