This is the 18th part of my occasional series on Landslides in Art.\u00a0 Part 17 can be found here<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Elena Damiani is a Peruvian artist based in London<\/a> whose work combines sculpture and architecture to challenge notions of space and place.\u00a0 Her work is really interesting, and she has both a personal website<\/a> and a blog<\/a>, which are well worth a look.\u00a0 In 2009 and she produced a piece of work entitled landslide, which is a scale model installation that depicts a series of building apparently over-run by a granular flow.\u00a0 There are a series of images of the work on both her blog<\/a> and her website<\/a>:<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>..<\/p>\n

It is an interesting piece in that structures are a combination of mostly recognisable and often iconic buildings from around the world, set in a steep mountain environment, with the granular flow around their foundations:<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>..<\/p>\n

The source of the landslide is not obvious, and the buildings have not been toppled, perhaps suggesting a slow flow rather than a rock avalanche?<\/p>\n

In fact her work quite often features other aspects of landslides, in some cases incipient failures<\/a>:<\/p>\n

And in others the aftermath of large rockfalls<\/a>:<\/p>\n
