"Terra - aconstruct of landscape“

"Terra - aconstruct of landscape“ - the "Re-romaticizing of Landscape" - when we look at landscape it´s always connected to subjective feelings. Lanscape is construct which is build up in our heads. The observation of landscape is individual and influenceable by emotions. In contrast Satellite are merely unemotional documents. These are used for navigation and reproduction of the Earth´s surface. So this is about pure mapping. Caspar David Friedrich, a figurehead of romanticism, visualized his subjective perception of landscape in his paintings. On his travels and hikes he drew sketches, which later served as references for his landscape compositions. The artwork "Terra" is made up of satelite images from the different places where the painter had made his drawings. These landscape-constructions are a homage to Caspar David Friedrich, the Romantic painter.
