Summary:
Tout un hiver, chaque jeudi, le train Paris-Nancy. On suit la Marne, puis la Meuse et la Moselle. Vieilles usines défaites, gares désertes, cimetières au pied des immeubles.... Vient le temps des inondations, ensuite la neige. De semaine en semaine, l'éclairage diminue, les villes s'allument. La cimenterie, la boîte de nuit, c'est à Toul ou à Commercy ? A chaque trajet, de cette matière fascinante et profuse, on enrichit le détail par écrit, sans revenir sur l'état premier. Travail du regard sur ces apparitions répétées, fragmentaires, discontinues, afin d'inscrire la réalité dans un espace recréé jusqu'à ce que forme et construction l'emportent sur le chaos de la vision - beauté arrachée à un paysage dévasté pourtant tellement riche d'humanité.

Summary:
Auparavant bien symbolique, le paysage devient, à l'ère postindustrielle, une marchandise que l'on peut fabriquer ou consommer, une forme du spectacle. 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(...)

Summary:
Auparavant bien symbolique, le paysage devient, à l'ère postindustrielle, une marchandise que l'on peut fabriquer ou consommer, une forme du spectacle. 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.

In Discourse on Method, Descartes rejects the limitations of traditional philosophy and theology in favor of the certainty of logic, geometry, and algebra. He proposes a method of thought that combines the rigor of a scientific approach comprising four principles: to accept only what reason recognizes as 'clear and distinct' to analyse complex ideas by dividing them into smaller elements; to reconstruct the ideas; and to make accurate and complete enumerations of the data.
