Reference note:
Our real, lived experience of landscape does not only involve space. It also involves time. Moving through, or over, a landscape takes time. Seeing also requires time: consider the time needed to look around and see the landscape in front of you, as your eyes constantly change their focus, direction, and view. Sometimes, if we move through it in a train or bus or car, it appears as if the landscape is moving, rushing past us. Beyond the River and Into the Trees is a concertina book, or “leporello”, but in order to see the artwork, the viewer needs to go through the physical act of opening it up, part by part – another process involving time, as a journey does. Even its title implies movement through space and places.
