”I underlandet har vi i la°nga tider placerat det vi fruktar och vill bli av med, och det vi a ̈lskar och vill bevara.” I Underland gör Robert Macfarlane en upptäcksresa till jordens inre, och vad han söker är människans djupast begravda hemligheter, drömmar och farhågor. Han vandrar genom Paris katakomber, letar efter förhistorisk konst i Lofotens undervattensgrottor och tittar ner i slovenska slukhål; han besöker forskningsstationer, glaciärer och anläggningar med förvar av radioaktivt avfall. Under vandringarna låter Macfarlane vår korta tidshorisont möta jordens långsamma skiftningar, och frågan han ställer är: Vad lämnar vi efter oss? Underland är en exceptionell natur- och reseskildring men också storartad kulturhistoria, där underjordens lockelse och betydelse blir genomlyst av en naturskildrare som räknas som en av vår tids främsta.

This book reveals a thread of unsettling takes on the British landscape stretching from paintings, prints and photographs made by Paul Nash in the aftermath of the First World War to contemporary artists exploring themes of memory, belonging, hauntology, dislocation and human impact on nature. In his introductory essay Robert Macfarlane explains that the eerie, involves that form of fear which is felt first as unease then as dread, and it tends to be incited by glimpses and tremors rather than outright attack. Horror specialises in confrontation and aggression; the eerie in intimation and intimidation.? Macfarlane suggests that eerie art has often flourished at times of crisis, as seen in the work of Neo-Romantic artists around the time of the Second World War. The works featured in the exhibition are grouped around four overlapping themes: Ancient Landscapes? features that are inexplicable and mysterious, connecting us to the unknown distant past; Unquiet Nature ? landscapes and natural forms used to unsettling effect, such as trees, lonely expanses of heath and the borderlands where different worlds meet; Absence/Presence, how the inclusion (and absence) of figures and objects can generate feelings of the eerie through mystery, suggestion and isolation; Atmospheric Effect ? the influence of weather, season, light and the time of day on responses to landscape.
