Summary: | By proposing to return to the English etymology of the word landscape we leave aside the modern idea of landscape in order to reinstate the perceiving body in the heart of the landscape and what constitutes it. This pathic and metabolic definition invites us to approach the ordinary transformations of places and their ambience by considering the ever-changing relationship between space and the body over time. This approach invites us to reconsider the possible ways of representing the landscape. The operability of filmic devices is doubly questioned. On one hand, we examine the ability of the film to apprehend and translate the ordinary transformations of places. We develop this hypothesis by relying on three artist movies which propose different layouts of the space / body relationship over time through three singular gestures (the narrative, the tension and the formalization). In their different ways these films allow representation of temporality. On the other hand, and as an opening, we address the issue of sharing the filmic representation in order to think and design the landscape in the frame of design projects.
