Landscape with(out) Locus explores how we understand, discuss, and visualize landscape in the context of today’s social, economic, and ecological challenges. This book examines the political and historical dimensions of landscape, addressing issues of power, identity, and natural resources through the lens of photography and visual culture.
Featuring essays by scholars and artists like T.J. Demos, Tiago Torres-Campos, and Irmgard Emmelhainz, the book delves into topics such as surveillance, colonialism, scopic regimes, and the role of AI in shaping our perception of nature. Through a mix of historical, contemporary, and AI-generated imagery, the publication challenges traditional views of landscape and calls for a more critical, engaged approach to visual representation.
Landscape with(out) Locus is an essential resource for those interested in visual culture, environmental studies, and the politics of representation.
