Wild Wild West

Honoring the centennial of America’s National Park Service, Elise Prudhomme presents Wild Wild West, a contemporary study of Western American landscapes faced with man’s appropriation of them. While contemplating the landscape definitely involves an aesthetic act, appropriating the landscape implies an act of transformation. Transformed into places of recreation, habitation or consumption, the evolution of these landscapes reveals a new picturesque.

Wild Wild West

Honorant le centenaire du «National Park Service Organic Act», Elise Prudhomme présente Wild Wild West une étude contemporaine sur les paysages d’Amérique de l’Ouest face à l’homme qui se les approprie. Tandis que contempler le paysage signifie assurément faire intervenir un acte esthétique, s’approprier le paysage implique un acte de transformation. Transformés en lieux de récréation, habitation ou consommation, il en résulte de nos paysages culturels d’aujourd’hui un nouveau pittoresque.
