in 2021, the Museum of Geography at the University of Padua, home of this chapter’s authors, launched a new project dedicated to the Euganean Hills, spanning from unearthing a historical photo archive of 13 glass plates dating back to the 1920s to reviving diverse heritage and launching a ‘repeat photography’ initiative. In this chapter, we draw inspiration from this museum experience to make a broader reflection on the ability of repeat photography not only to represent different temporal frames of the landscape but also to engage diverse audiences. Indeed, rephotography’s tendency to set the gaze in motion through different temporal layers makes it a particularly productive tool for public engagement in landscape research through the involvement of a plurality of both human and non-human actors.

Abstract
in 2021, the Museum of Geography at the University of Padua, home of this chapter’s authors, launched a new project dedicated to the Euganean Hills, spanning from unearthing a historical photo archive of 13 glass plates dating back to the 1920s to reviving diverse heritage and launching a ‘repeat photography’ initiative. In this chapter, we draw inspiration from this museum experience to make a broader reflection on the ability of repeat photography not only to represent different temporal frames of the landscape but also to engage diverse audiences. Indeed, rephotography’s tendency to set the gaze in motion through different temporal layers makes it a particularly productive tool for public engagement in landscape research through the involvement of a plurality of both human and non-human actors.
