The work invites us to reflect on the consequences of our extractive relationship with the land. It also reviews abandoned gravel pits around the city as they await repurposing. Gravel was made on the occasion of the exhibition ‘Basilea’ by Creative Time, commissioned by Art Basel for Messeplatz 2018. She aims to draw attention to the origin of construction materials below our feet, and how land is exploited, whilst reflecting on the consequences of extraction from the point of view of the land and inviting the public to enjoy the different terreins which await a new function.
