Description: Stuttgart: Hatje Cantz, 2014. 31cm., hardcover, 216pp., 138 illus. English text. Exhibition held at Isabella Stewart Gardner, Boston. Summary: Composite Landscapes examines one of landscape architecture's most recognizable representational forms, the montage view. The publication gathers work from a select group of influential contemporary artists and a dozen of the world's leading landscape architects. These composite views reveal practices of photomontage depicting the conceptual, experiential, and temporal dimensions of landscape. The first publication of its kind, Composite Landscapes illustrates the analog origins of a method now rendered ubiquitous through digital means. In revisiting the composite landscape view as a cultural form, Composite Landscapes illuminates the contemporary status of the photographically constructed image for the design disciplines, and beyond.
