	Abstract

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 arevisited 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
