Maya Lin\u2019s artwork Eleven Minute Line<\/em> is a 500-meter-long raised ridge. As the title indicates, it takes approximately eleven minutes to walk from one end to the other. Through the artwork, she links her birthplace to the colonial history of Europe and the USA. Lin found the inspiration of the artwork in her home state of Ohio in the USA, where the indigenous people created a monumental raised ridge sometime between 1000 BCE and 700 CE. When European explorers saw the Serpent Mound, their prejudices prevented them from believing that the inhabitants could have formed something so advanced. Common to all of Maya Lin\u2019s projects is an interest in the landscape and how we relate to our environment. She has created numerous monumental artworks, the most well-known of them being the Vietnam Veterans Memorial (1982) in Washington DC, USA: a memorial for the American soldiers who fell in the Vietnam War. Eleven Minute Line<\/em> can also be seen from Tadashi Kawamata\u2019s View<\/em> Tower Wan\u00e5s<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
