After I read the text about Robert Smithson and his work as land art I have built up my interpretation of this scene. The essential goal of land art is to treat a landscape as an artwork, likewise to make people see artwork as close like the nature. However, the nature has its characteristic of solitariness, which even makes the artist himself feel the inaccessibility. In this scene the artist is shot gradually minor, until surrounded by he black lava. The sense of solitary, depress, flow and stillness is presented and thus, PERHAPS to support his question towards it.
However, at the same time I found this quote from an article in R.S’s official website:
"No ideas, no concepts, no systems, no
structures, no abstractions could hold themselves together in the actuality
of that evidence"
