Abstract
Through the ongoing experience of the Land Lighting Vesuvius project , in collaboration with the Vesuvius National Park Authority, the “Mauro Felli” Interuniversity Research Center on Physical Agents Pollution (CIRIAF) and the International Landscape Research Laboratory (CIRIAFSSTAM) of the University of Perugia, and the analysis of Land Art works by artists, such as Walter De Maria and Christo, the concept of the centrality of the image and its media impact as a creation of virtuous valorisation processes is deepened/ revitalization of the landscape. As the French art critic René Huyghe suggests: «Thanks to the creative act, art introduces into reality a new, virgin contribution, a type of extra wealth for which nothing seems to have paved the way. [...] Ultimately, art exists only when it introduces into reality the search, and the attainment, of a quality that is totally unmeasurable but inevitably lived in the active reaction provoked in the viewer by the creator ». The stimulus to experience the landscape in a new way and in a short period of time is favoring the growth of temporary installations of great emotional impact on the collective memory, with the aim of transmitting, in addition to the true meaning of the work, even a sense of uniqueness of the moment one is experiencing. Marc Augé writes in Nuovi Argomenti, Lessons of truth, that there is a double diversity of landscapes projected in space and time: “a geographical and climatic diversity evident for all and, beyond this, a diversity made of particular looks, experiences and individual stories “. Gilles Clément, with the expression “Third landscape” identifies all those places in a state of abandonment at the hands of man. Finally the project “Fourth landscape. The urban experience of beauty”, promoted and funded by the Fondazione CR Firenze under the artistic direction of Virgilio Sieni / National production center, in collaboration with Fondazione Teatro del Maggio Musicale Fiorentino, Fondazione Scuola di Musica di Fiesole, Tempo Reale Music Production and Education Research Center, indicates a further landscape in which art is used to counter urban degradation and solitude.
