  • Light Projections by Javier Riera
    Artist <a href="http://www.javierriera.es/en" target="_blank">Javier Riera</a> creates these brilliant temporary works of art by projecting geometric patterns onto the natural landscape. The Spanish artist makes these creative interventions to explore the relationship between geometry and nature. Using only the medium of projection for his <a href="http://inhabitat.com/tag/green-art/" target="_blank">art</a>, Riera does not make any permanent artistic mark on the environment and instead captures the momentary <a href="http://inhabitat.com/tag/light-installation/" target="_blank">light installations </a>in his stunning series of photographs. Take a look after the jump for more of his work.

    A big part of the beauty of the beauty of the installations is their transience.

    He says that his interventions are “ephemeral and don't leave any tracks upon the landscape, they happen and they disappear."
