Perambulating, Wandering, Fleeing. A Few Notes on Mobile Landscapes

Andreas Rutkauskas’s photographic production is undeniably geographic; it covers a wide spectrum of landscape. And because it touches on or explores various aspects of the territory, it can also seem a little scattered. Yet I believe this artist’s work is entirely focused on traversals, motion, movement — eminently contemporary phenomena — as each of his photographic series broaches these themes from a particular angle. Rutkauskas’s work, finally, deals essentially with landscapes of mobility, of which it reveals various facets. Here I will attempt to explore some of the perspectives on landscape opened up by his practice.
