The Lido in the Forest: Memory, Landscape, Painting
This chapter presents a novel relationship between ‘landscape,’memory and painting from a practitioner’s perspective and contributes to the aesthetic discourse about art after the trauma of the Holocaust. The author examines her series of works, Tense (2008); this has been shown in several exhibitions within the UK and in the USA. The re-presentations of ‘landscape’ are read in relation to notions of ‘transposition’, Hirsch’s considerations of ‘postmemory,’ the implications of Urry’s notion of the ‘tourist gaze’ and Vidler’s considerations of the ‘architectural uncanny.’ This chapter is a development of papers given at international conferences.
