| dc.description.abstract | Listening Landscapes is a collaborative video and sound work that reorients attention from sight to listening. Filmed at border zones, urban thresholds, and geological edges, the work layers moving images with vocal gestures, sounds that carry meaning without resolving into language. Rather than representing landscape, the work inhabits it: as duration, as resonance, as a field where image, sound, and memory continuously translate into one another. What emerges is not a picture of place but an experience of how perception itself is shaped by what it cannot fully see or say. | - |

| arts.review.researchContext | Listening Landscapes was developed within the artistic research environment of PXL-MAD / Hasselt University and the Visual Visionaries: Image Thinking research group. The work emerges from the intersection of two ongoing artistic research trajectories and contributes to intermedial inquiry into landscape as a perceptual, mnemonic, and sonic field. The 5th International Colloquium “Word, Sound, Image: Landscapes”'s framing of landscape as "a state of mind before it can be a state of nature" (Schama) resonates directly with the epistemological premise of this project. Listening Landscapes takes seriously the claim that landscape is never given but is constituted through perception, memory, and sensory negotiation—and extends this claim into artistic research practice by asking: what happens when landscape is approached not through the gaze but through listening? For Amit Leblang, the project is embedded in the doctoral research, The Image Tongue: Translation as Visual Art, which investigates translation as an artistic methodology operating across media, senses, and materials. Rather than limiting translation to its linguistic dimension, the research proposes a model in which meaning continuously shifts across image, sound, voice, matter, and perception. Landscape, in this framework, becomes a site of ongoing sensory translation, never fully resolved into representation, always in transit between registers. For Patrick Ceyssens — visual artist and professor of Image Analysis and Image Thinking at PXL-MAD — the project extends his artistic research on visual thinking, perception, and the relationship between images and memory, developed through his doctoral project, From Looking to Visual Thinking (UHasselt, 2018). His work addresses how images activate cognitive and mnemonic processes that exceed stable representation — how what we see is always shaped by what we have seen, felt, and remembered. Bringing these trajectories together, Listening Landscapes proposes an intermedial practice in which filmed encounters with landscapes in motion — border zones, horizons, residual spaces, transitional environments — are combined with humming and vocal gestures that move between language and silence. Rather than depicting landscape as scenery, the work treats it as a soundscape in the expanded sense: a field where image, sound, body, and memory continuously translate into one another. In this way, the project contributes a methodological model for artistic research into landscape that moves beyond the visual tradition critiqued by Mitchell and Williams, one in which meaning arises not through framing and observation, but through immersion, instability, and the permeability of the senses. The significance of this contribution lies in what it offers both to artistic research and to intermedial landscape studies: a practice-based demonstration that landscape can be heard as much as seen, and that memory surfaces not only in what is remembered but in how perception itself carries traces of prior experience. | - |
| arts.review.impactDescription | Listening Landscapes was selected for presentation at the 5th International Colloquium “Word, Sound, Image: Landscapes” (17–20 May 2026), organised by the Intermedia Research Group (CNPq) at the Universidade Federal de São João del-Rei, Minas Gerais, Brazil. The colloquium brings together researchers and artists working at the intersection of literature, sound, image, and intermedial studies. The work was submitted through the conference’s open call for creative productions and selected by the scientific committee. Its presentation contributed to interdisciplinary discussions on landscape perception, intermedial translation, identity, soundscapes, and artistic research methodologies. The project was presented in dialogue with an international academic and artistic audience, situating the work within current debates on the relationship between sound, image, and landscape in contemporary art and media research. | - |
