With Landscape Machines, Erich Berger continues to investigate the topics of
radioactivity and the landscape. Deep time, spectral phenomena, innate and
anthropogenic landscapes are still at the center of his attention,
only this time explored in the local context of Slovenia
– the Žirovski vrh uranium mine and the human and non-human processes that shape its past and futures.
The installation is the result of more than a year of research and fieldwork
and is a kind of observatory for sensing the planetary machine.
The installation itself is an apparatus that we can enter in order to observe the
processes at work in the spatial and temporal dimensions below and beyond the threshold of our perception.
