Study on Landscape Ostranenie from the Perspective of Persons Exposed to "Sikake"

We have interpreted a landscape as something that is built on the relationship between a person’s “self” and an environment around the person. Then, we have adopted ostranenie to the field of landscape study and defined it as phenomenon in which the relationship is broken and revitalized with a certain catalyst and a new landscape is produced in person’s mind based on the revitalized relationship. Our study aimed to analyze our installation works from the three perspectives: 1) a person, 2) an environment, both of which were exposed to design tools, and 3) relationship between a person and an environment, and to consider design tools in relation with landscape ostranenie. From the analysis of three cases, it was found that a landscape can be ostranenized if there is design for a person, an environment, and/or the relationship between a person and an environment. From what has commonly been observed in the three cases, we could come to the conclusion that if design is made so that the relationship between a person and an environment can be destroyed and revitalized at the same time, landscape ostranenie may occur without design for a person or an environment.
