A secular landscape generally contrasts sacred sites, but is still able to mimic this process. It can be seen as the liberation of consuming nature from any kind of use-value, commerce or narrative into a meditation that is represented by nature for nature’s sake. Nature itself is a veil of the past bringing up the question of who forgot who. Landscape is something to be seen not touched turning a place into a visual image and a visual image into an idea. In order to obtain inclusivity and multiplicity of images the interpretation and rejection of a previous understanding of landscape used for political purposes are then replaced with a new critical dialogue of the admiration of the holy landscape. A lot can happen on a walk, nature is untrustworthy.
