“I wandered around Ozieri for days, crossing the plane stretching out before the city until I discovered a nuragh dating back to 1000 B.C. […] on the other side [of the road] two almost parallel hills rise up from the ground. The rocky face of the one of the hills has Domus de Janas cut into it, tombs from 2500 B.C. This is an exciting place due to these relics of human endeavour, separated from each other by hundreds of centuries. […] I created 3 red spheres, measuring 3 metres in size, out of local red stone, the only suitable material for them, and then I positioned them so that they embraced the three existing presences.”
