Description
Summary:Photographic and filmic work processes can support that purpose embedding specific site experience methodologies open to the passage of time and the changes it encompasses associated with the landscape we have inherited. The processes of photographic and filmic actions to read and understand a site, embed a possible projection of new knowledge that is closely linked to sensorial and experiential aspects of exploring and analysing a place and its spatial, sensory-aesthetic, and historical connotations brought forward through the footage.4 This panel focused on such hidden or unseen aspects as the red dust in Brasilia, Brazil, a constant reminder of the mistreatment of the natural environment, where the modernist capital was built; nutrient sensitive plants elucidating the slippage from secured greenhouses in the Netherlands; plants projected on a moving drawing table emphasizing attentiveness towards valuable landscapes in Australia; or houses literal being moved from one site to the next in Sweden, with its former place and context being projected to their walls. Methodologies that strengthen researchers' close engagement with a site through walking, making the researcher a participant of the landscape, is the anchor point of Millicent Gunner's approach in her visual essay Walking the Table: Caring-with landscape.
