The aesthetics of the urban environment are shaped not only by its visual appearance but also by the emotions it evokes as we observe the everyday landscapes that surround us. While aesthetic value is subjective, it nevertheless impacts each passerby. Fear of the Landscape is Andže’s exploration of this experience, rooted in both individual and collective memory. The exhibition focuses on the philosophical dimensions of fear, emphasizing the emotional and psychological responses triggered by the interaction between the urban environment and its aesthetic expressions. Landscapes, especially unfinished urban structures or monumentalized objects, can create tension between feelings of connection and isolation. In this context, urban landscapes serve both as visual elements and as spaces where society’s collective fears, memories and relationships with a changing environment are laid bare.
