Abstract

Abstract: "To live up to" (Bergounioux, 2011 [2001]: 51) remains the signifier enunciated. Repeated at different times, the function we assign to it is to place us before the landscape. To give ourselves a place, a place to be, to be (to do) in the landscape. To recognise its sensitive condition and its plastic, aesthetic and political temporalities. It is a remainder inherent/inseparable from the frame/screen that generates/constructs Culture in order to (re)present us with the complexity of the landscape as a deposit, sediments and strata of different cultural discourses. An "instrumentalised green" (Assunto, 1991: 23, 173) simultaneously to the productive excess of anthropised image and the productive excess of anthropised image and its strategic capitalisation, established by the industries (and politics) of experience for global intensive (not extensive) consumption. Thus, we rehearse a concern and a desire, that the Landscape might technically occupy (recover) that place of estrangement from which to rebuild the critical distance (and from which to re-build the critical (structural) distance in which art may perhaps represent a discontinuity that restores to Nature its status of unknowing, of indeterminacy, of otherness. Keyswords: Art. Culture. Nature. Landscape. Garden. Jorge Oteiza. Ángel Bados. Ibon Aramberri.
