this landscape is invisible

lecture performance/2023/ supported by: Land Vorarlberg/ shown at: L´Aquila Reale/camera: Francisco Navarrete Sitja 

„this landscape is invisible“ is a lecture performance in three chapters that deals with landscape as a construct, which serves our society for perception. The performance investigates the „Arcadian landscape“ and the (re)recognition of the „Locus amoenus“ through literature, paintings and memory as well as the social patterns associated with tourism, which exhibit a heightened sensitivity to visual elements of the landscape. Recordings of the environment around a tradition-rich Artist Residency in rural Italy were transferred onto tape loops and combined with synthesizers, sound objects and voice.
