Popis: Through the close analysis of four films, the author emphasizes the importance of the poetics of the displacement in the relations between body, memory and landscape. Following the thinking of French philosophers Gilles Tiberghien and Anne Cauquelin, landscape is understood as a physical environment that gives rise to a relation. The idea of landscape as a relation leads to a reflection on the notion of vestige. From Emmanuel Lévinas’ thoughts on this concept, this paper discusses two works made by American artist James Benning and two other by Brazilian artist Cao Guimarães. This research thus identifies a recurring tendency in contemporary audiovisual production from the organization of vestiges.
