Plot Summary:Standing apart along the northeast shore of the Great Salt Lake is a huge earthworks project, boulders and potholes, clinging brine and mirrored sky, which the film documents, as it moves back geologically to dinosaur history.
Helicopter scene really opens up new perspective on spiral jetty to me. The reflection of sun at the center of spiral jetty connects back to the beginning. And also the fact that we’re standing not on the ground but the actual surface of the earth, which is a lonely object in the universe.
