Just like Andy, Walter Demaria created the Lightning Field by placing steel rods in an open grass field. He waited until a thunderstorm approached and lightning struck the steel rods to take photographs of the moment when the lightning struck the steel rods. It created a visual spectacular when the lighting struck the steel rods. It was really as though the field was struck by lightning! The rods are used as the channel of communication or interaction between elements of nature. It is interesting as lightning can never strike a grassfield, but with Walter’s steel rods, it really did seem that the lightning phenomenally struck the field! While Andy explores nature by creating artwork from nature and his artworks decay, thus temporary, Walter explores nature by bringing elements of nature that do not interact naturally together. In other words, he defies nature by connecting lightning and grass together, two elements that cannot connect, by introducing a channel. He then documented the ‘phenomenon’ using photography.
