24 Squared Revisited
A Documentary Film & Large-Scale Land Art Installation

In 1976, British sculptor Geoff Pocock spent ten days alone in Monument Valley placing 3,456 red and white industrial bags across the desert floor in a precise geometric grid — a large-scale environmental land art installation made possible by permission from Navajo Nation Chairman Peter MacDonald. The work was witnessed by almost no one. Geoff passed away in 2019, and the installation existed only in photographs and memory.

​

Nearly fifty years later, two daughters return to that land to recreate it together.

​

24 Squared Revisited is a feature documentary film and large-scale environmental land art installation co-created by Tucson-based media artist and filmmaker Taya Pocock — Geoff's daughter — and Charity MacDonald, sculptor, installation artist, and daughter of Chairman Peter MacDonald. The recreation will use sustainable, biodegradable materials, transforming what was once a solitary act into something communal, female-led, and deeply reciprocal.

 

The installation is tentatively planned for Monument Valley Tribal Park, pending permitting with the Navajo Nation, and will be open to the public, followed by documentary film festival distribution and a free public premiere screening.

24 Squared Revisited is a story about land and legacy, fathers and daughters, impermanence and inheritance — and the radical possibility of doing something differently the second time around.
