Travelling landscape-objectsSchool of Geographical Sciences, University of Bristol, University Road, Bristol BS8 1SS, UK, veronica.delladora{at}bristol.ac.uk Over the past few years the notion of `landscape as a text' has been increasingly problematized. A number of experiments have been attempted to approach landscape via a revisited phenomenology. Landscape in the sense of graphic pictorial representation, however, has largely remained out of such debates. Reviewing and synthesizing work on landscape, materiality and performance, this article suggests some new directions for study. In particular, it calls for a reconceptualization of visual landscape representations as `travelling landscape-objects': graphic representations embedded in different material supports which physically move through space and time, and thus operate as active media for the circulation of place.
Key Words: landscape representations materiality mobility objects phenomenology.
