Metascapes 4

Landscape instead of being a web of relationships between man and nature, appears as a mental projection as regards how we perceive our surroundings both near and far. The photographies function as ”distorted” mirror of the reality we see. They are not pure documentations, but rather artworks somewhere between fiction and abstraction, metaphors of an outlook on the world and beyond.

(Florian Steininger, Landscape in my Mind, Kunstforum Wien, 2015)

”The real landscape is in your head.” With this poignant remark on the identity-building function of landscapes Swedish cultural anthropologist Orvar Lofgren refers to the fact that landscape is less something ”in the world out there” and far more in ”the eye of the beholder. In other words, landscapes are spatially-based perceptual units. They are constructed in the mind when we view the world by means of aesthetic categories that are socially mediated. (Roland Lippuner, Landscape in my Mind, Kunstforum Wien, 2015)
