The fifth installment of Loofy Magazin, edited by Donwood Bricks and Max Stocklosa, explores manipulation of the American landscape. This idea is summed up well by the term “rehearsal landscape,” which appears on the back covera and suggests a natural space that is an artistic work in progress. Contributions to this issue come from researchers Ayami Awazuhara, Pigenius Cave, Florian Goldmann, Clemens Hilsberger, Daniel Fernández Pascual, Clara Miranda Scherffig, Max Stocklosa, Maxwell Stolkin and Anna M. Szaflarski. An essay by Scherffig compares Truman Capote’s In Cold Blood with David Lynch’s television series Twin Peaks. She looks for instances where indoor and outdoor space combine, like the set of the Great Northern Hotel, where the walls are made of logs, and are decorated with murals of the great outdoors. Another piece by Stolkin explores this same idea of controlled wilderness, looking at poems created by rearranged footnotes from Romantic poetry. He chooses this artistic period because these authors concern themselves with wildness of nature. He describes the footnote as a way of controlling a reader’s interpretation. They are commonly used to help a reader understand texts too far from his or her own current cultural context, too wild. The other pieces in the publication confront other ironies present in controlling nature—from making airports “more environmentally friendly” to America’s attempt to slow down the erosion of Niagara Falls. In this rehearsal American landscape, nature has more power than we think.
