Landscape-Frames

Experience a moment suspended in time and reinforce the idea that nature is an open-air museum.

Landscape Frames – wooden moldings mounted on a stand – are set up along the paths of the chosen route. They attract the attention of the walker, offer a stopping place and allow time to concentrate on a tiny portion of the landscape crossed. He/she focuses on the framed section of the surrounding landscape, which forms a motif; the frame becomes the landscape. The walker becomes a contemplator, touching on the landscape painter’s essence through the eyes of the artist.

 

This device is part of COSMOLANDS, an installation at the service of an appropriation and a dynamization of urban, natural and heritage spaces. COSMOLANDS aims to help live one’s space, live one’s memory, live the social body to which one belongs. To quote Pina Bausch: our action would seek to invent moments of pure love.
