Landscape Looking
A multifaceted, visual attempt at a deeper understanding of one' s own environment.
How can the perception and appreciation of the visual landscape be improved and increased through explorative, multiethnographic means?
The inexhaustible number of landscape representations that currently floods on- and offline media fuels the development of a problematic attitude towards landscape – the superficial view of landscape as two-dimensional, replaceable and independent of human influence. By approaching landscape in this way rather than by experiencing it, one risks losing two key understandings: the awareness of the changes occurring in our environment and the fragility of landscape.
Through the medium of a field guide, this research project tackles these problems by proposing new approaches to intentionally viewing landscape to promote a deeper understanding of it and to develop new perceptions of one’s own environment.
