MONO LAKE REVISITED In 1968, Robert Smithson, along with Nancy Holt and Michael Heizer, visited Mono Lake in California. Their goal was to create a film about the lake and search for Thinolite. Upon their return, Heizer and Smithson chose the music and composed the soundtrack for the project. However, the film was never completed, and Smithson later described it as being in a "state of chaos", something he wished only to show to a "select few". In 2004, Nancy Holt revisited the footage from that summer and crafted a film titled Mono Lake. This film premiered at the "Robert Smithson Retrospective" at MOCA in Los Angeles. In April 2013, I returned to Mono Lake to complete the film in a manner that I believe Robert Smithson would have envisioned. Using both the original footage and my own recordings, I sought to create a new interpretation that pays homage to their original intent. Assistant Director & Scriptwriter : Christian Wodstrup Christiansen Orginal material by Robert Smithson, Michael Heizer and Nancy Holt.
