She exclaimed: “the Alps can be photographed”, was a group exhibition concerning the history of mountain photography, and more specifically, the first photograph ever taken of a mountain.\u00a0It was about a human-nature relationship. Alternately nature or man in the dominant role. Trying to capture the greatness of nature within a particular image was once totally unthinkable, but is a normality today. Thus, on August 19, 1850, upon seeing the first developed negatives of the Scheuchzerhorn, the photographer Camille Bernab\u00e9 exclaimed, “The Alps can be photographed!” (<\/em>Thomas Crauwels, z.d) THE ARTICLE<\/a><\/i><\/p>\n

My works:\u00a0<\/p>\n

Sherpa (2024<\/strong>): one-channel video installation, stereo output from work: QUECHUA<\/p>\n

QUECHUA (2024)<\/strong>: sheet metal, rivets, steel, wheels, wind ropes, hooks, tape, speakers, bolts, nuts, audio cables<\/p>\n

The work QUECHUA is a performative object to lie in and speak through, with two speakers placed on a kind of chimney. The work affects the duality between public space and private space, which is typical of a tent. It also plays with the nomadic aspect of a tent because it is constructed entirely of steel. In ‘Sherpa’ I have reduced this sheet steel tent to exactly 1\/6 scale, in order to create a portable version. I then carried this on my head to the top of the Rohrkopf, a mountain belonging to the Ammergau Alps close to Schwangau, Germany. After hiking 3 hours to this summit, I secured this miniature tent to the ground with small stakes and tiny storm ropes,\u00a0and then left it there.\u00a0<\/p>\n
