Krajolik kao prostor imaginacije _ Igor Loinjak Pojam krajolika uzima se kao poznat i razmjerno jasan termin koji često koristimo u svojoj komunikaciji s drugima bez razmišljanja o nizu impliciranih značenja koja on u svom opsegu može podrazumijevati. Krajolik se u „Hrvatskom leksikonu“ izjednačuje s pojmom pejzaža koji se definira kao likovni i geografski fenomen. U likovnom se smislu pod pejzažom misli na sliku ili grafiku koja prikazuje krajolik nekoga područja, dok se u geografskom radi o prostoru koji se prema određenim prirodnim ili društvenim značajkama i izgledom razlikuje od drugih predjela. U kontekstu se geografije govori i o kulturnim pejzažima (krajolicima) koji su u jednom trenutku promijenili izgled zbog djelovanja ljudskog faktora. Don Mitchell pišući o pojmu krajolika navodi da mu moguća značenja ovog pojma raznolika. U svakodnevnoj upotrebi krajolik označava specifično uređenje ili odnos stvari (drveća, livada, kuća, tvornica, otvorenoga prostora itd.) u nekom kraju. Nadalje, krajolik se odnosi na izgled ili stil nekog kraja pri čemu se ne misli samo na vrstu kuća ili drveća i red koji među njima vlada, nego i na društvene i kulturne implikacije toga reda. U geografskoj se znanosti pod krajolikom podrazumijeva morfologija izgrađena od oblika i strukture nekoga predjela. Naposljetku, krajolik je i oblik reprezentacije u smislu umjetničkog prikaza ili složenoga sustava značenja. Sva ponuđena značenja1 riječi krajolik na različite načine otkrivaju određene segmente ovoga polisemantičkog pojma. Kada se govori o temi krajolika, za našu su temu osobito važni oni kulturni. Kulturni su krajolici postali bitna tema u geografskoj znanosti unutar koje se na prijelazu iz 19. u 20. stoljeće na njemačkom govornom području počinje razvijati posebna grana ove znanosti nazvana Kulturlandschaft ili kulturna geografija. Pojam Landschaft bio je također nejednoznačno korišten, a od početka se prošloga stoljeća koristio u dva značenja – u teritorijalnom koje je podrazumijevalo ograničeno područje ili regiju i u estetskom u kojem se mislilo na sliku, odnosno izgled nekog predjela i način na koji ga se percipira. U potrazi za povijesnim značenjima pojma geograf Kenneth R. Olwig zaključio je da Landschaft ne označava samo teritoriji ili sliku predjela, nego da se u teritorijalnom smislu odnosi i na društvene zajednice koje su živjele u nekom predjelu s vlastitim identitetom, tradicijom i običajnim pravima2. „Landschaft su činili“, navodi Laura Šakaja, „povezanost unutar zajednice, običajno pravo koje je definiralo tu zajednicu te prostor na koji se proširivao utjecaj zajednice i na kojem [je] vrijedilo njezino običajno pravo3. Pojam Landschaft-a je, dakle, u svom opsegu ispreplitao društvenu zajednicu, običaje i teritorij. Olwig nastavlja kako su i u estetskom smislu prvi prikazi krajolika, poput oni Brueghelovih s jedne strane prikazivali „logiku mjesta“, a s druge „logiku aktivnosti“ prenoseći 1 Mitchell, D. Krajolik, u: D. Atkinson, P. Jackson, D. Sibley, N. Washbourne (ur.), Kulturna geografija: Kritički rječnik ključnih pojmova, Disput, Zagreb 2008, 81 2 Olwig na temelju povijesnih značenja riječi u raznim jezicima ističe kako je krajokik u početku označavao „područje prokrčeno sjekirom i plugom koje pripada ljudima koji su ga prokrčili.“ Isto, 83-84. 3 Šakaja, L. Uvod u kulturnu geografiju, Leykam, Zagreb 2015, 64.

duh prostora te služeći kao podsjetnik na običaje i običajno pravo4. Iz toga, ali i niza drugih razloga, geografi su u sklopu kulturne geografije posebnu pažnju počeli posvećivati krajoliku (Landschaft-u u ovom posljednjem značenju) i pokušaju njegove definicije ne samo na temelju geografskih, odnosno materijalnih komponenti, nego iz rakursa kulture koristeći se pri tome suvremenim dosezima humanističkih znanosti. Iako začeta na njemačkom govornom području, rođenje se kulturne geografije kao subdiscipline vezuje uz anglosaksonsko podneblje, osobito uz ime američkoga geografa Carla O. Sauera. Sauer je u knjizi „Morfologija krajolika“ (1925.) isticao kako je krajolik areal (regija) sastavljen on fizičkih i kulturnih determinanti. Budući da je kultura bitan čimbenik preobrazbe krajolika, Sauer spominje i termin kulturnoga krajolika. Kulturni se krajolik u koncepciji njegove škole označavao kao konkretan skup složenih odnosa između zajednice i niza prirodnih fenomena. Šakaja piše kako se u Sauerovoj koncepciji kulturni krajolik određuje kao „oblikovan kulturni areal“ kojega „oblikuje ljudska prisutnost i djelatnost“. On je „rezultat preobrazbe prirodnoga krajolika pod utjecajem kulture“, odnosno „manifestacija kulture koja ga je stvorila i koja se sama mijenja tijekom vremena.“5 Krajolik ne čini samo ono što promatrač može vidjeti, zbiljski prostor oko njega. On, naime, ne uključuje svu cjelinu vidljivih elemenata, nego samo onaj dio vidljivoga koji se ističe i na temelju kojega nastaje generalizacija koju promatrač oblikuje na temelju pojedinačnih scena viđenoga. Budući da je generalizacija uvijek subjektivna, subjektivni je element pri promatranju i estetskom zoru krajolika neizbježan. Subjektivan zor, pak, karakterističan je i za umjetnički prikaz i doživljaj nekoga fizičkog ili mentalnog (imaginarnog) predjela. Subjektivan doživljaj krajolika i pokušaj njegova predočavanja u objektivnu realnost osobito je zanimao Johna Kirtlanda Wrighta i Williama Kirka koji su u svojim tekstovima sredinom prošloga stoljeća u području geografije potaknuli promišljanje o odnosu ljudske subjektivnosti i prostora. Wright je smatrao kako geografija treba proširiti svoje područje i na druge pristupe tumačenju krajolika kao što su putopisi, proza, poezija, umjetničke slike... Takav je oblik geografije nazivao geozofijom, a materijalni objekt njezina bavljenja nije trebao biti samo puki fizički prostor i njegove specifičnosti, nego osjećaj koji čovjek ima prema određenom prostoru. Paralelno je s Wrightovim promišljanjima na sličnom planu djelovao Kirk. On je smatrao da pojavna struktura krajolika ne ovisi jedino o fenomenima koji se percipiraju, već da veliku važnost ima i čovjek koji tu stvarnost motri. Iz toga je razloga u svoja promišljanja uveo pojam bihevioralnoga okoliša kojeg definira kao „psiho-fizičko polje unutar kojega su pojavne činjenice organizirane u uzorke ili strukture i dobivaju sadržaje ovisno o kulturnim kontekstima.“6 Zasluga je Wrighta i Kirka što su neovisno jedan o drugome unutar geografije potaknuli „proučavanje ljudske prostorne imaginacije i subjektivnosti u tumačenju okoliša.“7 4 5 6 7

Velike je promjene u načinu tumačenja krajolika donio kulturni materijalizam nastao krajem sedamdesetih godina prošloga stoljeća u Velikoj Britaniji. Kulturni je materijalizam naglašavao povezanost kulturnoga krajolika s povijesnim okolnostima koje su ga obilježile kroz epohe, a među kojima su osobito važni društveni, ekonomski i politički elementi te odnos moći. Denis Cosgrove, jedan od glavnih predstavnika ovoga pravca, u knjizi „Društveni poredak i simbolički krajolik“ krajolik je definirao kao specifičan „način viđenja“. Vlastitu je tezu temeljio na rezultatima istraživanja promjena koje su se dogodile u europskom renesansnom pejzažnom slikarstvu. Iako je bilo poznato još u antici, u europskom se kontekstu pejzažno slikarstvo razvija u 15. stoljeću u Flandriji i sjevernoj Italiji, dok dva stoljeća kasnije dobiva svoj puni zamah. Cosgrove smatra da je krajolik „buržujski i individualistički ‘način viđenja’ koji je povezan s primjenom vlasti nad prostorom“, a „nastao je kao dimenzija svjetonazora europske elite“.8 Na vrhuncu razvoja humanizma na europsku je kulturnu scenu došla renesansa čiji je temeljni i jedini uzor bila antika. Važnost proporcija i sklada koji vlada u starogrčkom Kozmosu bilo je moguće razumjeti zahvaljujući ljudskome intelektu koji se manifestirao kao „proizvod intelektualnog razmišljanja“.9 Geometrija koja je bila odraz harmonije Kozmosa počela se tražiti i u ovozemaljskome Kaosu, kako u arhitekturi (F. Brunelleschi) tako i u slikarstvu (Masaccio), ali i na drugim područjima poput kartografije. Bio je to krucijalan okret od teocentričnoga srednjovjekovnog shvaćanja svijeta i prirode prema renesansnom antropocentričnom u kojem krajolik kao odraz mudrosti Boga Oca biva gledan očima čovjeka, subjekta koji ima samo svoje, jedno jedino motrište. Bio je to početak ere subjektivizma i individualizma koja će zapadnu civilizaciju pratiti do današnjih dana. U vizualnom smislu geometrijska (linearna) se perspektiva pokazala najadekvatnijim načinom da se taj subjektivizam izrazi kroz sliku. Erwin Panofsky i Rudolf Arnheim u geometrijskoj su perspektivi vidjeli odraze individualističkih težnji humanizma. Međutim, i ovakvo je viđenje svijeta obilježeno nekim paradoksima. Arnheim piše kako je problem geometrijske perspektive u tome što nastoji proizvesti „točan“ i „realističan“ prikaz deformirajući normalan oblik stvari „kompliciranim matematičkim kalkulacijama“.10 Realizam je geometrijske perspektive iluzija jer se na temelju matematičkih i optičkih zakonitosti stvari u prednjem planu prikazuju uvećanima, a one u stražnjim planovima proporcionalno udaljenosti promatrača umanjenima što nije u skladu s njihovom stvarnom vizualnom manifestacijom u prirodi. Drugi je problem ovakvoga pristupa pokušaj da se objektivizira nešto što je subjektivno. Naime, iskustvo viđenoga pretvara se u brojčane odnose, a subjektivan se dojam prevodi u matematičke omjere utemeljene u pravilima geometrije.11 Iz navedenoga bi se moglo reći kako je pokušaj objektivizacije i ovoga puta podlegao pred subjektivnošću pogleda, iako je nepobitno da je korištenje geometrijske perspektive u likovnim umjetnosti sve do druge polovice 19. stoljeća bilo bez presedana. Prikazi krajolika nisu bili samo prikazi svijeta kakav možemo vidjeti. Oni su isto tako i konstruirali „viđeni“ svijet djelovanjem subjekta koji je 8 9 10 11

generalizacijom vidljivoga racionalizirao perceptivne datosti krajolika koji je promatrao. Osim krajolika na slikama, slična je situacija bila i sa stvarnim, prirodnim krajolicima koji su kao i oni prvi bili način viđenja. Šakaj na temelju analize Cosgrovih teza zaključuje kako se uvođenjem geometrijske perspektive, razvojem pejzažnoga slikarstva te kultiviranjem i racionalnim oblikovanjem krajolika u vrijeme renesanse razvio novi odnos između čovjeka i njegova okoliša te je krajolik u tom smislu zadržao svoje značenje unutar zapadnih društava.12 Konačno, Cosgrove smatra da se koncepcija krajolika kao „načina viđenja“ treba shvatiti kao način na koji se vanjski svijet geometrijskim zakonima slaže u vizualnu cjelinu što će reći da on označava stvaranje vizualnog prizora djelovanjem osjetila i intelekta: „Krajolik je dakle način viđenja, sastavljanje ili strukturiranje svijeta tako da ga može prisvojiti odvojeni pojedinačni promatrač kojem je preko kompozicije prostora, u skladu s geometrijskim pravilima, ponuđena iluzija reda i kontrole“13 pri čemu način viđenja podrazumijeva odnose moći unutar društva. Pri tome ne treba zaboraviti da ni interpretacija krajolika nije uvijek jednoznačna te da i ona ovisi o prostornom i vremenskom kontekstu u kojem je krajolik nastao ili je prikazan, kao i o društvenom sustavu unutar kojega se interpretira.14 Iz do sada navedenoga uočava se kako umjetnička vizualizacija nekoga krajolika podliježe najmanje dvostrukoj ideologizaciji. Prvu proizvodi sam umjetnik odabirom nekog (stvarnog ili imaginarnog) predjela i načinom na koji će ga prikazati u skladu s vlastitom pozicijom i intelektualnim pogledom na svijet. Druga je ideologizacija rezultat interpretacije kojom se u prikaz upisuju određena značenja stvarajući ideološki semantički konstrukt sklon daljnjim reinterpretacijama. Kako god ovaj proces shvatili, teško se oteti dojmu da je reprezentacija nekoga krajolika u svim vrstama umjetnosti slobodan konstrukt umjetnika što ne potvrđuju tek slikani pejzaži, nego i brojni književni i neknjiževni putopisi u kojima subjektivna generalizacija pisca cjeline otkriva mnogo, ali još više toga ostavlja skrivenim.

Landscape as a Space of Imagination _ Igor Loinjak The concept of landscape is considered to be a familiar and a relatively clear term that we often use in our communication with other people without considering a series of implicated meanings which it can convey in its purview. In the “Croatian Lexicon” landscape is equated with the term of scenery which is defined as both an artistic and geographic phenomenon. In the sense of visual art, landscape is used to signify a painting or a print that depicts the scenery of a certain area, while in a geographical sense it is a space which differs from other areas by virtue of certain natural or social characteristics and appearance. In the context of geography there is also talk of cultural landscapes (scenery) that had changed their appearance at a certain moment due to the agency of the human factor. Writing on the term of landscape, Don Mitchell states that this term carries with it many different meanings. In its everyday use landscape signifies a specific organization of objects or a relationship between them (trees, meadows, houses, factories, open space, etc.) in a particular area. Furthermore, landscape refers to the appearance or style of an area, which does not only infer the kind of houses or trees and the way they are ordered, but also the social and cultural implications of that order. The geographical science considers landscape to be a morphology constructed from the form and structure of a particular area. Finally, landscape is also a form of representation in the sense of an artistic depiction or a complex system of meanings.1 All of the proposed meanings of the word landscape reveal certain segments of this polysemantic term in various ways. When we talk about the topic of landscapes, those of the cultural variety are of particular importance to our theme. Cultural landscapes became an important subject of the geographical science within which, in the German speaking area at the turn from the 19th to the 20th century, a special branch began to develop under the name of Kulturlandschaft or cultural geography. The term Landschaft was also used in ambiguous ways, and from the beginning of the last century was used under two meanings – a territorial one, referring to a limited area or a region, and an aesthetical one which meant an image, i.e. the appearance of an area and the way it is perceived. Searching for the historical meanings of the term, geographer Kenneth R. Olwig concluded that Landschaft does not merely signify a territory or an image of an area, but that in a territorial sense it also refers to social communities that lived in a particular area with their own identity, tradition, and common laws.2 As Laura Šakaja states “Landschaft consisted of the connectedness of the community, common law that defined that community, and the space into which the influence of the community spread and where its common law was 1 Mitchell, D. Krajolik, in: D. Atkinson, P. Jackson, D. Sibley, N. Washbourne (ur.), Kulturna geografija: Kritički rječnik ključnih pojmova, Disput, Zagreb 2008, 81.] 2 Based on historical meanings of the word in various languages Olwig points out that in the beginning landscape used to signify “an area cleared by axe and plow, belonging to the people who had cleared it.” Ibid, 83-84

practiced.”3 The term of Landschaft, therefore, interwove social community, customs, and territory in its domain. Olwig continues that in the aesthetical sense as well, the first depictions of landscape, like those from Brueghel, depicted “the logic of place” on the one hand, and the “logic of activity” on the other, conveying the spirit of the space, and serving as a reminder of custom and common law.4 From this, as well as from a series of other reasons, geographers started paying particular attention to landscape (Landschaft in this last meaning) as a part of cultural geography, and to the attempts to define it not only based on geographical, i.e. material components, but also from the viewpoint of culture, thereby applying the contemporary advances in the humanities. Although conceived in the German speaking area, the birth of cultural geography as a subdiscipline is linked to the Anglo-Saxon area, especially to the name of American geographer Carl O. Sauer. In the book “Morphology of Landscape” (1925), Sauer pointed out that landscape is an areal (region) made up of physical and cultural determinants. Since culture represents an important factor in the transformation of landscape, Sauer also mentions the term cultural landscape. In the concept of his school of thought cultural landscape was defined as a concrete sum of complicated relationships between the community and a variety of natural phenomena. Šakaja writes that Sauer’s concept determines cultural landscape as “a formed cultural areal” which “is shaped by human presence and agency.” It is “a result of the transformation of the natural landscape under the influence of culture,” i.e. “a manifestation of the culture that had created it and which had also changed as time went by.”5 Landscape does not only constitute that which an observer can see, the tangible space around them. It does not include the entirety of the visible elements but only that part of the visible which stands out and according to which a generalization is made that the observer forms based on the individual scenes of the perceived. Since a generalization is always subjective, the subjective element during observation is inevitable to the perception of the landscape. The subjective perception is also a characteristic of an artistic depiction and experience of a physical or mental (imaginary) area. The subjective experience of landscape and the attempt of its visualisation into the objective reality was the subject of particular interest to John Kirtland Wright and William Kirk who encouraged in their texts from the middle of the last century the contemplation on the relationship between human subjectivity and space. Wright thought that geography should extend its range to other approaches to the interpretation of landscape such as travel records, prose, poetry, artistic paintings… He named such form of geography geosofy, and the material object of its work was not supposed to be a mere physical space and its specificities, but the feeling that a person has towards a particular space. Parallel to Wrights contemplations, Kirk acted on a similar plan. He considered that the phenomenal structure of landscape does not depend solely on the phenomena which are perceived, but rather that the man who is beholding this reality is of great importance. From this reason 3 Šakaja, L. Uvod u kulturnu geografiju, Leykam, Zagreb 2015, 64.] 4 Ibid. 5 Ibid, 73.

he introduced the term of behavioural environment in his contemplations that he defined as a “psycho-physical field within which phenomenal facts are organized into patterns or structures and are given substance depending on the cultural contexts.”6 Wright and Kirk’s merit lies in the fact that they have, independently from one another, encouraged in geography “the study of human spatial imagination and subjectivity in the interpretation of environment”.7 Great changes in the way landscape is interpreted were brought by cultural materialism that appeared at the end of 1970s in Great Britain. Cultural materialism emphasised the connection between cultural landscape and the historical occurrences which had marked it through the epochs, among which particular importance is given to social, economic, and political elements and the balance of power. In his book “Social Formation and Symbolic Landscape,” Denis Cosgrove, one of the main representatives of this school of thought, defined landscape as a specific “way of seeing”. He founded his hypothesis on the results of examining changes that had occurred in European landscape painting. Although it was known as early as the age of antiquity, in a European context landscape painting developed in the 15th century in Flanders and northern Italy, and achieved its full momentum two centuries later. Cosgrove considers landscape to be a “bourgeois and individual ‘way of seeing’ which is connected to the application of rule over space,” and “was created as a dimension of the worldview of the European elite”.8 At the peak of the development of Humanism, Renaissance, whose fundamental and sole role model was the antiquity, entered the European cultural scene. The importance of proportions that rule the ancient Greek Cosmos was possible to understand thanks to human intellect which manifested itself as a “product of intellectual thinking”.9 Geometry, which served as a reflection of the harmony of the Cosmos, was beginning to be sought in this world’s Chaos, in architecture (F. Brunelleschi) as well as in painting (Masaccio), but also in other fields such as cartography. This constituted a crucial turn from the theocentric medieval understanding of the world and nature towards the anthropocentric view of the renaissance where landscape as a reflection of the wisdom of God, the Father, was seen through the eyes of man, a subject who has only his own singular viewpoint. This was the beginning of the era of subjectivism and individualism which followed the western civilization to this day. In a visual sense, the geometrical (linear) perspective was shown to be the most adequate way of expressing this subjectivism through painting. Erwin Panofsky and Rudolf Arnheim saw in the geometric perspective the reflection of aspirations of Humanism towards individualism. However, this kind of worldview is marked by certain paradoxes. Arnheim writes that the problem of geometric perspective can be found in that it is attempting to create a “correct” and “realistic” depiction by deforming the normal shape of objects through “complicated mathematical calculations”.10 The realism of geometric perspective is an illusion because, based on mathematical and 6 7 8 9 10

optical laws, objects in the forefront are shown as enlarged, and those in the back, proportionately to the distance of the observer, are smaller, which is not in accordance with their real visual manifestation in nature. The second problem of this kind of approach is the attempt to objectify something that is subjective. The experience of the seen turns into numerical relationships, and the subjective impression is translated into mathematical ratios based on the rules of geometry.11 From the above stated one could conclude that the attempt of objectification once again succumbed to the subjectivity of one’s viewpoint, although it is irrefutable that the use of geometric perspective in visual art was unprecedented until the second half of the 19th century. Depictions of landscape were not merely depictions of the world that we can see. They also constructed the “seen” world through the agency of the subject who, by generalizing the observable, rationalized the perceptive absolutes of the landscape they were observing. Just like landscapes in paintings, the real, natural landscapes that, like the former ones, also represented a way of seeing, found themselves in a similar situation. Based on the analysis of Cosgrove’s hypotheses, Šakaj concludes that the introduction of geometric perspective, development of landscape painting, as well as refinement and rationalization of landscaping during the times of the Renaissance, brought forth a new relationship between man and his environment, and that landscape in this sense had kept its meaning within western societies.12 Finally, Cosgrove feels that the concept of landscape as a “way of seeing” should be taken as a way to put the outside world into a visual whole using geometric laws; that is to say, he defines the creation of a visual scene as the interaction of one’s senses and their intellect: “Landscape is a way of seeing, a composition or structuring the world so that it may be appropriated by a detached individual spectator to whom an illusion of order and control is offered through the composition of space according to the certainties of geometry”13 where the way of seeing includes the balance of power within society. Here one should not forget that the interpretation of landscape is not always unambiguous, and that it also depends on the spatial and temporal context in which the landscape was formed or is depicted, as well as the social system within which it is interpreted.14 Based on the above stated, it is notable that a visualization of landscape yields to at least a twofold ideologization. The first one’s created by the artist themselves by their choice of a (real or imaginary) area and the way they are going to depict it in accordance to their own position and intellectual outlook on the world. The second ideologization is the result of the interpretation through which certain meanings are written in the depiction creating a semantic construct prone to further interpretations. In whatever way one might understand this process, it is hard not to get the impression that the representation of a particular landscape in all types of art is a free construct of the artist, which is not only corroborated by painted landscapes but also numerous literary and non-literary travel records in which the subjective generalization of the whole by the author reveals much, but leaves 11 12 13 14

Ibid, 117. Ibid, 118. Ibid, 121. Ibid, 122.

much more hidden away. Through insight into the preserved remains of art history matter one can conclude that the depictions of landscape in western art appear as far back as paintings on the insides of Egyptian pyramids, and similar themes were found in the palaces of Aegean civilizations as well. Landscape painting was also known during the Antique period and it still nurtured mimicry in the representation of a scene, and it was especially important in the times of Roman domination when it was used for decorating room walls of wellstanding citizens’ villas. While in the 14th century the all-encompassing dematerialization of depicted reality pushed the depiction of landscape into the background, making it, as a rule, an exception, painters such as Cavallini, Duccio, or Giotta gradually started to abandon the Byzantine and medieval tradition of building composition using the figuratively neutral golden backgrounds, and introduced landscape scenery in their religious scenes, instituting it as a backdrop for the main theme. During the Renaissance, landscape painting was still developing on the margins of visualizing religious themes until it had achieved its full momentum in the 17th century, especially in the Protestant countries of northeast Europe. Although they pointed to man’s power to tame nature in their intertext, depictions of landscape were often a reflection of the Almighty’s glory, which was most prominent during the period of Romanticism when, on the wings of pantheistic hypotheses, landscape was viewed as the visual materialization of the divine. In the 20th century depictions of nature as a reflection of the connection between the divine and man lost its power, remaining merely a reminder of human agency which is threatening the landscapes of the world, and putting the happy future of the planet into question. Partially along those lines, and partially from the desire and need to break the shackles of institutionalized gallery spaces, in the wake of minimal art, land art started developing on American soil. In land art artists started to use landscape as a stage and the framework for their own artistic expression, pointing to the potential that a particular area possesses not only as part of nature, but also as a space where art that is completely fused with landscape and with its morphology can and should be created. The “Landscape spaces” exhibition presents works whose authors have touched upon the subjective contemplation and getting the feel of a particular space, especially the one within, the physically non-existent one. In most part, those are imaginary landscapes, void of objective absolutes. The visual representations that each of the selected works brings give us an opportunity for a different consideration of landscape and space which does not only represent a dive into the visible reality, the scenery which is created en plein by the artist’s hand, but is intrinsically created by virtue of artistic imagination. Landscape spaces, in this sense, are the spaces of uninhibited intercourse with the potential which landscape as space, and landscape painting as a genre, gives within the absolute space of freedom.

Prostor, osjetila i iskustvo _ Zlatko Kozina Prema tumačenjima Europske konvencije o krajobrazu iz dvijetisućite godine „krajobraz je određeno područje viđeno ljudskim okom, čija je narav rezultat međusobnog djelovanja prirodnih i ljudskih čimbenika, a predstavlja bitnu sastavnicu čovjekovog okruženja, izraz raznolikosti zajedničke kulturne i prirodne baštine, te temelj identiteta područja“.1 Krajobraze se dakako može razvrstavati na mnoštvo načina. Kulturni krajobraz bio bi neka vrsta seizmografskog crteža razvitka određene ljudske zajednice u nekom određenom vremenu i prostoru, bilo iz estetskih pobuda bilo preobražavanjem samog krajobraza u svojevrsnom kulturološkom evolucijskom procesu. S druge se pak strane u tradicionalnoj interpretaciji unutar likovne umjetnosti, krajolik/pejzaž definira tek kao „estetsku komponentu viđenog, njegovu interpretativnu vrijednost“ prikazane prirode, urbanog odnosno urbanog u prirodi.2 Očekivano, za većinu ljudi ta će se dva pojma najčešće koristiti kao istoznačnice. Pozornijom analizom spomenute definicije može se uočiti kako se cijela stvar dodatno usložnjava sintagmom „viđeno ljudskim okom“, čime je kodifikacija djelomično postala upitnom. Srećom, ta je upitnost od one vrste koja ne umire u samoj sebi nego, štoviše, postaje mogućnost u otvaranju prostora umjetnosti koji nadilazi decidirano navođenje ljudskog oka kao jedinog spoznajnog aparata u percepciji krajobraznog prostora. Prema mišljenju psihologa Roberta Ornsteina i biologa Paula Ehlricha ljudski um neprestano i na svim razinama – od osjetilnih reakcija do donošenja važnih odluka – stvara pojednostavljenja (što također čini i u procesu vizualnog opažanja) da bi tako uz što manji utrošak energije mogao odgovoriti na zahtjeve svijeta u kojem živi. Iz toga je evidentno kako je apsolutna samodostatnost bilo kojeg osjetila gotovo nemoguća.3 K tome, krajobraz u vizualnim umjetnostima može biti i imaginarno konstruiran na neviđene načine. Jedan od takvih je i svedenost na koncept, odnosno situaciju u kojoj se percepciju takvog prostora ostavlja na razini ideje koja se može, ali i ne mora, realizirati. U tom bi se kontekstu moglo postaviti i pitanje razlikuje li se rekreiranje promatranog prostora promatrano s distance od rekreiranja tog istog prostora iznutra isključivo posredstvom proživljenog iskustva odabranog motiva. Na postavljeno pitanje neki od umjetnica/umjetnika koji izlažu na ovoj izložbi odgovaraju iz vlastite perspektive koja je ponekad takva da sve izgleda razgrađeno na mnoštvo slomljenih dijelova, atomizirano do šutnje nakon koje krajobraz više ništa ne govori. S druge strane, ti fragmentarni prikazi prostora u stvari mogu biti doživljeni i kao odbijanje scenografske pozornice i atmosfere neodređenosti u kojem događanja ne oživljavaju promatranu kulisu. Koji je rezultat svega toga? Složeno tkivo percepcije krajobraza (ono opaženo) naizgled postaje sve kompleksnije, dok sam subjekt (onaj koji opaža) kao da sve više gubi 1 Radman , Jelena.“ Pojam i značenja krajobraza“.Projekt Perivoj. http://projekt-perivoj. hr/pojam-i-znacenje-krajobraza/ (pristupljeno 20.kolovoza 2019.) 2 Ibid 3 Radman, Zdravko.“Pogled iz pozadine“ .Filozofska istraživanja 102 ,26(2006):423-437.

raznolikost uvida. Štoviše, konstantno prijeteći, bujica kompleksnosti (čitaj relacionalnost radi relacionalnosti) kao da pokušava prekriti korice zajedničke knjige namećući i samim umjetnicima priču iz sredine, vječitu sadašnjost poput elgrekovskog toledskog neba kratkotrajno osvijetljenog im života kao pejzaža satkanog od iskustava, čije je utonuće u sjenu svakodnevne anksioznosti neizbježno. Predstavljena umjetnička djela na ovoj izložbi (crteži, slike, fotografije, videa, instalacije, skulpture itd.) dokumenti su nastanjivanja krajobraza ljudskim tijelima i svim njihovim konačnim bitcima istkanima i utkanima u prostor čak i kad to nije eksplicitno vidljivo. „Dokumenti“ koji uvijek krenu s namjerom da bi bili osvijetljeni jasnom difuznom svjetlošću, poput primjerice one delafrančeskovske, žele li u tome i uspjeti morali bi za početak odustati od svake namjere, pa čak i umjetničke, u trenutku kada se ista počne pretvarati u lažni, konvencijama izbrazdani palimpsest.

Space, Senses and Experience _ Zlatko Kozina According to the definition from the European Landscape Convention from the year 2000 “landscape is a certain area seen by the human eye, whose nature is the result of the interaction between natural and human factors, and it represents an important component of man’s environment, an expression of the diversity of common cultural and natural heritage, as well as a foundation for the identity of an area”.1 Landscapes can, of course, be sorted out in a variety of ways. A cultural landscape would be a certain type of seismographic drawing of the development of a particular human community in a particular time and space, either from aesthetical motives or by transforming the landscape itself in a cultural evolution process of sorts. On the other hand, in the traditional interpretation within fine arts, landscape/scenery is defined merely as an “aesthetic component of the seen, its interpretative value” of the depicted nature, of urbanity, i.e. of urbanity in nature.2 As would be expected, for most people those two terms will, in most cases, be used as synonyms. A more detailed analysis of the abovementioned definition might reveal that the whole thing gets more complicated through the phrase “seen by the human eye”, which brings its codification into question. Luckily, this questionability is of a sort which does not die within itself, but becomes a possibility to open the space for art which overcomes the decided guidance of the human eye as the sole apparatus of cognizance in the perception of a landscape space. According to the psychologist Robert Ornstein and biologist Paul Ehlrich, the human mind constantly and on all levels – from sensory reactions to making important decisions – makes simplifications (which it also makes in the process of visual perception) so as to be able to answer to the demands of the world which it inhabits with as little energy expenditure 1 Radman , Jelena.“Pojam i značenja krajobraza“. Projekt Perivoj. http://projekt-perivoj. hr/pojam-i-znacenje-krajobraza/ (accessed on 20 August, 2019.) 2 Ibid

as possible. From this it is evident that the absolute self-sufficiency of any of our senses is virtually impossible.3 Additionally, landscape in visual arts can also be imaginarily constructed in previously unseen ways. One of such is the reduction to concept, i.e. a situation in which the perception of such a space is left on the level of idea which can, but does not have to, be realized. In this context one could raise the question of whether the recreation of an observed space viewed from a distance differs from the recreation of the same space seen from within, solely through the personal experience of the chosen motif. Some of the artists who are presenting their works in this exhibition give answers to this question from their own perspectives which are at times such that everything appears deconstructed into a multitude of broken pieces, atomized to the level of silence after which the landscape does not tell us anything. On the other hand, these fragmented depictions of space can, in fact, be experienced as the rejection of the scenographic stage and the atmosphere of indeterminateness in which events do not breathe life into the observed backdrop. What is the result of all this? The complex tissue of the perception of landscape (that which is observed) seemingly becomes more and more complex, while the subject himself (the one who is observing) seems to start losing the diversity of insight. Moreover, the torrent of complexity (i.e. relationality for the sake of relationality) threatens constantly, as if trying to encase the cover of a book which belongs to everyone, forcing upon artists a story told from the middle, an eternal contemporaneity like an El Grecian Toledo sky, their briefly illuminated lives as a landscape woven from experiences, whose immersion into shadow of everyday anxiousness is inevitable. The works of art presented in this exhibition (drawings, paintings, photographs, videos, installations, sculptures, etc.) represent documents of settling the landscape with human bodies and all of their final beingness woven from and inwrought into space, even when this is not explicitly obvious. “The documents” which always start with the intention to be illuminated by a clear diffuse light as, for example, della Francesca would have had them, would, if they wish to succeed in it, have to, from the very beginning, abandon any intentionality, even an artistic one, the very moment it starts to transform into a false palimpsest wrought by conventions.
