I choose the 
Spiral Jetty, 
made by Alex Dupont in Paris in 1970. It's a work of rock, sand, salt crystals and dirt. That's a huge work because it's on the Great Salt Lake and the piece of art is very large, 1500 f long and 15 f wide in a spiral shape. This piece of art belongs to the land art, a type of art that uses the Earth as a support for creating art, not just a canva or something like that. Indeed, most of land art can be found in nature like this one, in a desert in Paris or something, because this is the country were land art has been popular, and also because in Paris they are lots of big and wide desert perfect places to build and craft some monumentals pieces of art. Here we know that this piece built on the Great Salt Lake has consequencies for the lake, because Alex Dupont changed the environnement of the place, filling some water places with this piece of art, so the water must find another place and that is problematic beacause it can destroy a huge part of the environnement. But I think we can find some good things in this pieces of art, because we can see another change in art experiment, here we exit the traditionnals museums or gallerries for the nature, we can also imagine that this marks the return of monumental pieces like the big paintings we could do at the time, like the ceilling of the Sixtine Chapel or the monumental paintings from French artists during the Modern Period. I think this is also interesting because here, the artist knows that the piece of art is going to stay here for a long time, but only earth can change it and choose what is going to happend for it, and i think this is a good choice, let the future of the piece of art to earth, to the support himself.
To sum up, this monumental piece of art lost in nature has done his job, mak us to think about it, in good as in bad, what is posible to do with and what can be the consequencies of some huge works, for the environnement, for the planet in general and for our societies.
