Abstract: The landscape in Le Camion is, on the one hand, anchored by the supposed presence of the lady who has gotten in the truck (the seeing truck); on the other hand, the visual landscape is the landscape of the truck passing through the countryside. The landscape constitutes an exterior vis-à-vis the subject who sees, remembers, imagines, or dreams. By comparison, the whole appears to be a celebrated world of loss, of the blissful annihilation of the self, an invisible part of the landscape that, under the closed eyes of the lady, gives us access to the other side of things.
