Dal paesaggio al territorio: eco-arti e stratificazioni di senso

Abstract

This paper investigates the transition from the notion of 'landscape' to that of 'territory' through the lens of contemporary eco-art practices. Starting from the critique of landscape as a compromised and exhausted genre, it explores how certain artistic interventions can reactivate its potential. Informed by Guattari’s ecosophical paradigm, the analysis focuses on the work of Emanuela Ascari, who conceives the soil as a living archive, and Irene Coppola, who interprets urban scars as palimpsests of memory. Within this framework, art emerges as an embodied practice of care that transforms the landscape from a mere vista into a field of forces and interdependencies, outlining an ethical-aesthetic model for new forms of coexistence between the human and the more-than-human.
