In The Use of Landscape we seek to describe the theoretical and artistic context of works selected precisely in order to highlight diverse and non-exhaustive discourses, some contradictory, others complementary, leaving readers to decide what best suits them. The book is not exclusively about the Anthropocene, or exclusively about ecology, nor is it about how to hug a tree in order to have a connection with nature without knowing its role but sensing its importance, or about artistic or curatorial practices specific to contemporary art. You will read about how artists view landscape and what they do with it, how photography views landscape and how it captures it, how environmentalists and poets view landscape and how they incorporate it into their work.
