Paisagens pessoais: doze ensaios expandidos para o mundo

Abstract

In the dissertation that follows I describe some experiments on the condition of someone affected by the landscape. I write about the experience, rather than what is landscape. This is an essayist writing, where fiction, intuitions, personal experiences come together to poets,artists and theories of art. Verbal images are built in order to access the visuality. It is the exercise of an eye on things in the world. Thus, on the landscape there are two approaches: that of nature and of contemplation. Interested in nature as a condition of existence of things, as something inherent and that involves everything, without control. Thepresence of a latent power. And contemplation as the presence of man, who looks, frames, reveals, walks and transforms. To realize various actions I performed it by two spatial experiences: walking and transforming. The spaces choosen for that are from different scales:home interiors, great plains, forests and cities.The dissertation is composed of twelve tests, often opened by dreams and unfolded in architectural, artistic, spiritual and geographical representations, each one building in itself a landscape content.
