Recollecting Landscapes: landscape photography as a didactic tool

摘要

Photographs of the Belgian landscape time and again in the same locations, reveal changes in plant population, in habitation and in architecture. RecollectingLandscapes is a rephotographic survey project which documents a century of landscape transformation in Belgium.1 It is based on the successive photography of sixty sites at three moments in time between 1904 and 2004 [1,2]. This paper takes the project as a starting point to investigate the subject of the image and its presentation. This means that the text develops some thoughts on how the images in the project are displayed and read, rather than on the content they display.
