Horizons, 3.–25.5.2025
Whether it is a city, a forest or an industrial setting, the landscape is cleared, cultivated and inhabited. Defined as terrain transformed by human physical activity, it is also observed and represented in the form of maps, paintings, images or texts. Whether glimpsed through windows from inside or used as a background in Renaissance paintings, its conception has since developed and become more complex. Over time, our relation with the landscape has evolved, and its role in our constantly changing society is increasingly a subject of debate.
