Seeing Landscape through Artistic Practice


Chantal Akerman writes:


To write in order to close...

To write the letter to the father...

I went, then I write...

visions in passing...

Travels...

On the way I still passed [the place]

where my mother comes from...

and slowly you realize that

it is always the same thing

that is revealed,

a little like the primal scene...

there is nothing to do;

it is obsessive

and I am obsessed...

Despite cinema.

Once [it] was finished

I said to myself,

so that's what it was:

that again, 4
