Who owns the future landscape? What does the future landscape currently look like, and how can it be envisioned differently? Elvia Wilk’s latest book, Death by Landscape, is a constellation of essays that considers the kinds of narratives that will help us rethink our human perspective toward Earth. The book begins as an exploration of the role of fiction today and becomes a deep interrogation of the writing process and the self. She examines creative works across time and genre in order to break down binaries between dystopia and utopia, real and imagined, self and world. Wilk has presented her book as part of the public Stroom program Positions: Elsewheres.
