This page is exactly one kilometre tall.
Above the soil: a 2 cm brass disc.
Below it: 1 000 metres of brass you will never see at once.
After Walter De Maria, The Vertical Earth Kilometer (1977), Friedrichsplatz, Kassel — a solid brass rod sunk flush into the ground, its existence taken on faith.
The tip. One kilometre down.
You scrolled the whole rod and saw none of it.
That was always the deal.
