The article presents information about the history of landscape as a concept, rather than as an artistic genre. The author argues that landscape concepts allow humans to act violently toward land without realizing it. Descriptions are given of the history of photography as an influence on the perception of landscape. It is noted that between the 19th century and the 21st century, landscape went from being an instrument of violence to a violent object itself. Further comments are given regarding the social implications of altered landscape perception.
