描述

In Automatic Landscape, Dutch conceptual artist Ger van Elk depicts a horizon line by leaving a blank space between two canvases, from which four streams of liquid paint flow. In this gap, numerous postcards accumulate, their presence—beyond the cliché of mass tourism they convey—highlighting the intrusion of photomechanical reproduction techniques into traditional art and the contemporary perceptions of landscapes.
