Working within Libidoscape: a landscape where bodies, objects, and media co-construct desire.

Flesh, Desire, and the Senses

Libidoscape is an artistic framework that fuses landscape with libido.


Here, the landscape is no longer a passive backdrop but a sensuous, desiring body—alive, tactile, and in constant exchange with human presence.

Drawing from psychoanalytic desire theory and nonhuman perspectives in landscape studies (Guattari, Deleuze), Libidoscape transforms nature, urban space, and everyday objects into intimate, living agents through a process of flesh-ing the landscape.

Unlike traditional erotic or fetish frameworks, desire here is fluid and generative, not fixed on a single object. Libidoscape asks: What happens when body and environment become organs for each other’s desire?

Thanatos

Code Libido

Eros concerns the generative forces of attraction and mutual dependency. It is not merely eroticism, but an energy that forges connections and gives rise to new forms. In this dimension, desire is treated as a fluid medium, circulating between bodies, materials, and spaces, driving the continuous emergence of relations and shapes.

Thanatos embodies the energy that tends toward stillness, dissolution, and the return of matter. It is not simply an ending, but a transformation—allowing material to persist and accumulate on another temporal scale. Death here becomes a vessel for memory, retaining the marks and weight of forms sculpted by time.

Fleshscape views the body and the environment as parts of a single continuum. It examines how the body coexists with the natural world—where veins, textures, and folds mirror those of terrain—revealing a hidden isomorphism between sensory experience and ecological systems. Here, the body is both the perceiving subject and the material fabric of the landscape.

Code Libido explores the intersection of the digital and desire. Under conditions of informational existence, desire is generated, transmitted, and reshaped through codes and algorithms. It exposes the interpenetration between organic perception and inorganic logic—where emotion is translated into patterns and signals, yet always retains a residue that resists full computation.
