‘Cropped’, A Photo Project Documenting the Circular Crop Patterns Created by Center Pivot Irrigation
In his photo project “Cropped”, Dutch artist Gerco de Ruijter documents the circular crop patterns (sometimes called “crop circles”) that are a byproduct of center pivot irrigation in images taken from Google Earth. He presents the circles both in prints and in “Crops”, a stop motion animation. De Ruijter created the project between 2012 and 2015.
