In the span of only several decades, the manner in which people perceive the landscape has
fundamentally changed. Landscape forms and a new dimension of landscape have come to
being, for which no vocabulary or adequate images exist. Over nearly ten years, a portfolio of
video studies and trans-disciplinary research projects has emerged at the ETH Chair of Landscape Architecture of Professor Christophe Girot dedicated to new landscape forms at the edge of our cities.
The exhibition at the Polyterrasse of the ETH shows video sequences from student work and
plays with our contemporary perception of the city landscape. The everyday view of Zurich
poetically captured in a walk-in Camera obscura contrasts with the adjacent video observations
and analysis on peripheral landscapes. The exhibition points to a changing culture of
vision and shows its significance in the historic perspective of our relationship to landscape.
A sound installation will help enhance the layer of acoustic perception. The exhibition is meant
to make us conscious of our changed ways of seeing and its influence on the acceptance of
landscape.
In addition to the exhibition the publication Blicklandschaften. Landscape in Motion will be
released.
