“For fúkeiron, landscape is a field specific to perception, as it is the ability of film, framing of a spatiotemporal plenum, to show. The tension of this perception as it fluctuates gently or violently comes closest to appearing as such when "nothing” is happening and everything seems “the same.” Its appearance can seem impossible categorically (as impossible and mistaken as subreption within the transcendental). Asking how landscape matters sounds like a category mistake, like asking how the night is political.“
