​The question of relating to landscape, through ethical, emotional and intellectual engagement on behalf of the artist, was the focus of this talk. The main question explored was with reference to the photographic series Verkehrsprojekte Deutsche Einheit (1995-2003) by artist Hans-Christian Schink, presented in the context of the exhibition Longing for Landscape - Photography in the Anthropocene (2016).
