Zmysły w krajobrazie

In the article I take the problem of the role of the senses in the experience of the landscape. I suggest a leaving the classical interpretation and aesthetics of the picturesque, which recognizes the landscape in the visual experience as a picture, to see how the understanding and perception of the landscape change, when we try to interpret it by means of the sublime. The redefinition of the sublime, conducted by Adorno and Berleant, allows to restore its anthropological dimension and relate it with the idea of survival. In this respect, the sublime refers to the understanding of the landscape, which is based on the idea of participation, “being in the landscape”. Participation requires the involvement of the senses, which open up the multiplicity of the landscapes of senses: sound, smell, haptic. Multi-sensory experience in the landscape – the synesthesia of senses – opens up a new sensation, in which an approximate picture becomes a space of experience of senses.
