Landschaft
Landschaft is the germanic root word from which landscape was derived. Simon Schama highlights this term in his book Landscape and Memory as originally referring to a unit of human occupied land. Within this experimental series, I was interested in the convergence or “overlapping” of man-made shapes/lenses with organic shapes. How do these superimposed forms interfere and/or interact with the way in which we view the land?
