Jane Hutton, Reciprocal Landscapes : Stories of Material Movements

Abstract

Published in 2019 by Jane Hutton, Reciprocal Landscapes traces through five chapters the social and environmental history of five materials implemented in the public space of New York between 1860 and 2009. Guano, steel, granite, plane tree and tropical wood are the successive subjects of an investigation, which aims at reweaving the interactions between the landscapes from where they come from, the people who shape them and the policies that govern their circulation.
