The Landscape, a Counternature: An Interview with Anne Cauquelin

Philosophe, théoricienne de l’art et artiste, Anne Cauquelin développe depuis plusieurs années une réflexion autour des notions de paysage, de nature et de site. Elle montre dans L’invention du paysage (1989) que la perspective paysagère a fortement conditionné notre approche perceptive, au point que nous voyons le monde « en paysage ». Selon l’auteure, l’art orienterait ainsi notre perception de la nature. Son intérêt pour le cyberespace et ses nouveaux dispositifs spatiotemporels l’a conduite à poursuivre la réflexion sur les liens entre site et paysage (Le site et le paysage, 2002). Elle s’est aussi interrogée sur les spécificités du jardin, qu’elle définit comme un espace fini, fragmenté et laborieux en regard du paysage, image d’un lointain qui suggère l’infini (Petit traité du jardin ordinaire, 2003).

Nathalie Desmet As you discussed in L’inven­tion du paysage, landscape is a constructed form, an analogue of nature. Has this artificiality transformed nature and landscape into two completely distinct concepts?
