Transitus Naturalis explores the transformations of the landscape over time, revealing its transition into landscaping and its complex intersections with history, culture and power. Through images from postcards, stamps and copyright records, Elaine Pessoa deconstructs the idea of fixed landscapes, addressing the historical and symbolic displacements that shaped the Brazilian imagination, from colonial exploitation to the present day. The work questions how landscaping projects, botanical gardens and urban spaces have reconfigured the natural, reflecting both the domestication of nature and the power relations behind it.
