THE metal monolith mysteriously found in a remote region in your desert Jute November 18 missing barely ten days after its location awakening the imagination of many.
The San Juan County Sheriff’s Office initially said it was refusing to research the case as it has not preceded complain for loss of property.
To compound his claim, he posted one on his website. poster – parody search for wanted persons, who appear as suspects in the disappearance nine forms of aliens.
However, on Monday night, the office changed its mind and announced that it intended to continue. investigation together with the Federal Bureau of Land Management.
A photojournalist, Ross Bernards, was the one who made the revelations through Instagram. Bernard, 34, had gone to visit the monolith on Friday night when, he writes, four men appeared from nowhere. Bernards had taken a six-hour road trip to see the construction and take pictures.
Using special lighting that he had attached to a drone, captured a series of brilliant moonlight images in which the monolith glows alongside red rocks and the deep blue of the night sky.
Suddenly, at around 9 p.m., four people arrived, their voices echoing in the secluded gorge.
Working in pairs and completely determined, they began to hit the monolith, which began to tilt toward the ground. Then they pushed him in the opposite direction trying to uproot him.
“That is why garbage is not left in the desert,” said one of the men, suggesting that he saw the monolith as earth in the landscape, always according to the photographer’s description.
The monolith fell to the ground with all its volume. The men broke it into smaller pieces and carried it away in a cart.
“As the pieces were being removed, one of the men said, ‘Leave no trace,'” Bernardas said in a telephone interview with a New York Times reporter.
He did not photograph the men who unloaded the sculpture, saying: “I did not want a confrontation to start with my camera to my face, especially when I agreed with what they were doing.”
However, a friend who accompanied him on the trip, Michael James Newlands, a 38-year-old man from Denver, was quick to snap some pictures on his mobile phone.
“It must have taken 10 to 15 minutes maximum to remove the monolith,” he told the New York Times. “We didn’t know who they were and they weren’t going to do the least thing to stop them.” “They just went there to carry out what appeared to be their ‘mission,'” he added.
The photos, although blurry, are fascinating. They depict men working under cover of darkness, wearing gloves but not covered in their faces, and standing next to the fallen monolith. The illustrations allow us to see the exposed “souls” of the monolith. It is a hollow structure equipped with plywood.
We can see its interior exposed. It turns out to be a hollow structure with plywood reinforcement.
These photos are the only ones known about how to remove the structure. And it’s not entirely certain that the people depicted are the same as those who originally posted them.
Tuesday, the Andy L. Lewis, a professional athlete from Utah took responsibility, along with his team, for the construction removal through a video on his Facebook page. This is a 34 year old professional jumper, who in 2012 he participated in Madonna’s impressive performance at halftime of the Super Bowl.
His video, which is only half a minute long, shows the monolith on a cart as someone quickly pulls it out of the park. “The safe word ‘run,'” says a man as his searchlight illuminates the fallen sculpture.
A friend of yours, oh Sylvan Christensen, who participated in the demolition of the statue, explained in a written statement to the New York Times that the group decided to destroy the sculpture to protect the area not only from encroaching on a metal structure but also from the many “pilgrims” who had started to get to see her.
“This land is unprepared for such a population shift,” they wrote, adding that the public must be educated on proper land use and management.
The monolith was originally associated with John McCracken, a California-born artist who died in 2011 and had a penchant for science fiction. David Zwirner, art dealer of New York, who represents the artist’s work and was the first to recognize the monolith as the original McCracken, said a few days ago that after studying his photographs, he had no idea who was behind it.
And while the mystery of its origin remains unsolved, another monolith that appeared in Romania, intensifies it.
In the midst of a pandemic and uncertainty, the mystery of the monolith aroused the interest of an entire country for later expanding the planet. Will it still be as exciting as the story, if we ever find out who’s behind it?
