Due to unforeseen circumstances, I have had to switch tutor. As part of our online introductory we discussed my critical review proposal.

During this module I have become interested in considering how landscape photographers can move beyond mere observation of the land and become more deeply immersed in what is around us. Land Art moves beyond representation as the artists strive to work with the land, often nature, rather than being a step further removed, looking at the land. Land Artists also rely heavily on photography to bring their work to a wider audience and engage with the art market.

My proposal for my critical review is to consider the role of photography in Land Art, both in practical and conceptual terms; its purpose, meaning and validity as a work of art in its own right, and with considerations around the term ‘landscape’. I will take into consideration the intentions of the Land Artist in making such photographs and how these photographs sit within and alongside the wider landscape photography genre.
