HANNAH HOPEWELL

If landscape bears a ‘way of seeing’ correspondent with Eurocentric scopic regimes such as prospect, horizon and frontier, is it not also a tool of possessive property logics? Whilst pictorial framings of landscape may have given way to process-based imaging, do performance-indexed ecologics cloak a continued marketisation of the earth? Drawing on thought outside landscape architectures genealogy and disciplinary ideals, this presentation asks what forms of seeing might proffer under the idea of non-landscape? In the context of decoloniality, several experimental scopic’s are discussed and their significance to broadening critical modes of landscape practice. Hannah is a landscape architect, urban designer, educator and poet with a background in professional practice.Currently a lecturer at Wellington School of Architecture, Hannah recently completed a creative practice doctorate in Spatial Design titled: Notes from the Urban Intertidal: A paraontological lean.
