Description |
Landscapes are products of mind, are created by human beings. Just as humans are created by landscapes. Yes, landscapes do have physical properties, they embrace and bring form to matter, they occupy space and they constitute space. But this geometry of geography is always physical and mental, that is social, mental, political, collective, private, and this human; resulting in many different kinds of landscape and places ( and bery different kinds of people ) : a path through freshly fallen snow from and to the bus stop, a backyard with disused automobiles and a graveyard of memories, deserted grazing fields and deterred ecotopes, inner city quarters turned to slum where the protected zones of the bank palaces are promptly evacuated by dusk, mined fields and poisoned waters, picturesque views and sublime scenarios: caravans of refugees along the highways; history and future, destiny and hope, despair and improvement. |
