Versions of contemporary ruins such as waste are embedded in an ecological approach to reclamation that relies on advanced technology to limit environmental damage and produces “system works” that connect the reclaimed site to larger ecosystems and the cosmos. Cet article explore la nature et la signification changeantes des ruines dans la pratique de l’artiste américaine Nancy Holt. Beaucoup d’artistes américains des années 1960 et 1970 se sont intéressés à l’entropie et aux monuments, mais Holt a élaboré une réflexion originale à ce sujet et a intégré certains paradigmes liés à la construction et à l’interprétation des ruines dans son propre travail, avec un intérêt marqué pour l’écologie, les mythes et les rituels. Plusieurs œuvres aux approches distinctes sont analysées : Ruin View: The Temple of the Sun (1969), Stone Enclosure. Rock Rings (1977-1978) et Sky Mound (1984, projet inachevé). La sculpture ancrée dans le site et les projets de réhabilitation consacrent les ruines en tant qu’objets critiques et porteurs d’inspiration situés dans le paysage, qui permettent à Holt de créer des œuvres aux temporalités multiples, ancrées dans l’histoire du site et alignées aux phénomènes célestes. Des ruines contemporaines telles que les déchets s’insèrent dans une approche écologique de réhabilitation qui utilise des technologies de pointe pour limiter les dégâts sur l’environnement et qui produit des « œuvres systèmes » reliant le site aux écosystèmes et au cosmos.
