14 MuseoMag N°III 2025 REFLECTING ON LANDSCAPE AND NATURE‘S VOICE A video series with four artists about how they engage with different landscapes © capsule At the heart of our exhibition Land in Motion lies a dynamic relationship: the ever-evolving interplay be- tween nature and humanity. More precisely, a rela- tionship of forces. How have we, as humans, shaped the landscape – for better or worse – and how, in turn, has nature shaped us? While our collection, which ranges from archaeo- logical finds to historical objects and artistic works, reflects extensively humanity’s influence on the land, the other side of the story is less present. The rare pieces that do speak of nature’s influence on us tend to focus on destruction, such as photo- graphs documenting floods, for instance. This led us to a question: how can we give nature a voice that reflects its nurturing side? Nature already speaks – powerfully, constantly and in countless ways –, but are we truly listening? Can we shift our perspective to hear not only its warnings, but also its wisdom, its resilience, its inspiration? And how can we incorporate these voices into the exhibition? We took these questions as our starting point and invited Luxembourg-based artists to become the in- terpreters of nature’s voice. Through their creativity, nature speaks – not in words, but in images, sound, emotion and thought. The result: a compelling video series where each artist gives form to each of the exhibition’s four landscapes – forest, agriculture, riv- er and industry. And so began a journey where art- ists became mediators, channeling the voice of na- ture and translating it into words we all understand. CURATING VOICES: FROM LANDSCAPE SELECTION TO VIDEO COMPOSITION We selected artists who have long engaged with specific landscapes in a philosophical way, where these landscapes are a continuous thread through- out their work. At the same time, we aimed to en- sure a balance of different age groups, backgrounds, practices and genders. The artists were invited to engage with the specific landscape we had selected for them last year. The shoot was structured in two parts: in the first, the artist reflected on their personal relationship (From left to right) Marco Godinho, Anna Recker, Serge Ecker and Katarzyna Kot were invited to reflect on different lands- capes in relation to their practices.
