When the word ‘landscape’ acquired an extended meaning, namely from land to land&image or imageoftheland, it partly came from the fact that Dutch painters had come to capture extensively the swift changes in their surroundings. The latter was progressively manipulated to fit Christian values, which well separated and subordinated the earthly and natural from anything human (thus differently natural?), leading up to a long and violent process of taming and domestication. This process is not separated from the land reclamation nor the colonial history in which this takes place.
Joanne van Halteren gathers a somewhat emotionally detached AI-generated chintz pattern to provide a space for speculative swamp species, redecorating the modernist walls while witnessing a flickering and alienating yet nostalgic alternation of a stroking touch between domesticated species.

In this thesis, I examine how landscapes are and where framed in art and the power dynamics embedded in that framing.
I argue that the way we depict and conceptualize landscapes has real consequences—for both society and the environment—with the human gaze playing a central role.
