Synopsis
A documentary about how a two-story tall, 340-ton, granite boulder became the massive artwork entitled Levitated Mass, the latest “land sculpture” by artist Michael Heizer. The boulder’s 105-mile journey from a quarry in Riverside to the Los Angeles County Museum of Art attracted international media attention and challenged the imagination of thousands of Southern Californians over 10 nights as it crawled through 22 cities on a football-field length, 206-wheeled trailer. The film captures this spectacle while weaving together the story of the reclusive Heizer, the ambitions of a major metropolitan museum, and the public’s wild reactions to this massive display of modern yet eerily timeless conceptual art.
