Manufactured Altered Landscape

Lotus 164 (2017)


In its probing of a topography that shows all the modifications of the landscape, what emerges from the photographers’ work published in Lotus is the disquieting question of whether a transformation of the very being of our planet is taking place as a result of human intervention. And in effect what we see in the pages of the magazine is a succession of images of alterations that have led to a sort of concealment of nature with other images in which we glimpse its reappearance, almost as if it were an object from another time, a “deep time.” As Jean-Christophe Bailly puts it: “what we feel, passing through the landscapes that surround us, is that the discrepancy between what we used to consider their legitimate representation and what they are actually becoming has grown, making room for an expectation of new images—images that would be not so much ‘realistic’ as simply in keeping with the fundamental tone of the age.”
