London, 25th - 27th june 2010.
The past thirty years have witnessed social, geopolitical, technological and economic change on a global scale. Along side these shifts, landscape has also changed its nature. Focusing primarily, but not exclusivly, on the sinergies bewtween the disciplines of photography, this international and interdisciplinary conference will examine and critically reassess the intefrcafe between production and representation in the creation of contemporary landscape.Emerging Landscapes asks practitioners, writers, crtitics, artists, and others working in the broad fields of the built environment (i.e. architecture, landscape architecure, and urban design) and the represented environment (i.e. photography, film, and the visual arts) to reconsider the idea of landscape by interrogating the relationship between space and image; to explore the synergies that exists between landscape representation - the imaginary and symbolic shaping of the human environment - and landscape production - the physical and material changes wrought on the land.
