The piece entitled Impaled Mountain is one of a series of land art designs by Erik Mátrai. Works like Touching the Moon or Mirror Plane Touching the Moon were also conceived as part of this series, the pieces of which feature a shift of scale that is simply impossible to carry out for dimensional, technical or financial reasons. However, while planning and drafting, the artist can let his thoughts soar boundlessly. At the same time, the Impaled Mountain refers to a drastic intervention into nature, which would endanger the local or even global ecological equilibrium. In fact, this issue already comes up regarding a number of actualised land art or other large-scale artworks.
