In The Whole Adrift, Corinna Gosmaro dismantles landscape as the passive stage on which human activity unfolds. She instead explores it as a “mindscape,” a visual analogue for how consciousness builds and traverses its own terrain. Horizon lines flicker between veins and cirrus clouds, neural pathways and river deltas, proposing that the distances we move through in thought are topographical, that to perceive is already to inhabit a sort of geography. We are, collectively, the landscape. Not agents passing through it, but continuous matter within it.
