Or, l'observation des interactions entre land art, art public, mobilité, tourisme et photographie - considérée dans sa forme artistique ou comme pratique commune - montre que l'apport de l'art, en dépit de la tendance actuelle qui tend à l'occulter à mesure que les enjeux paysagers suscitent une attention grandissante, reste fondamental. Cet ouvrage propose ainsi un regard critique sur les modalités contemporaines d'élaboration, de perception et d'appréciation des paysages.
