“Richard Long’s “sculpture for Martin and Mia Visser” was conceived for the purpose of photographic reproduction. Richard Long made a
system of trenches, which was created according to special camera views. Seen from these camera views relations become evident between
marks in the landscape such as stone-walls, water-falls, lanes and Long’s trenches. The collectors Martin and Mia Visser aquired Richard
Long’s work as a photographic reproduction for publication in an edition of 500 issues. According to Richard Long’s idea the photographs
in hand do not have the function of a documentation: It is the “sculpture for Martin and Mia Visser”. (page [19]).
