Paisagens Transgénicas questions the concept of landscape as a code for the recognition of the territory. Borrowing from the biological concept that describes genetically modified organisms, the author uncovers the composite nature of the elements that make up a landscape, their different origins, lineages, and how they associate in distinct, unstable, mixed bodies. Displaced from the “natural” order of things, landscape is transformed into an aesthetic and political device that interrogates change and also the concerns of those who look and attribute different and dissonant meanings to the way we see the world.
