Nach der Natur. Konstruktionen der Landschaft II (After the Nature - Constructions of Landscape II) is about the ambivalence between the breathtaking beauty of the mountains and their overwhelming threat. It is about what happens if people want to overcome, control, and use the gigantic and impassable mountains - and how the „surface mountain“ changes with this attempt. (quot. Margherita Spiluttini)
„Let us assume that we are not dealing with two different realities in photography, but only with one which merely invades our brain through the retina from two different positions. It would be conceivable that the retinal image makes less of a difference between the original and its representation than we might imagine. Even a switch of realities, a mix-up, an exchange of identities would be conceivable, such as a photo which more closely reflects the reality of the original than any accidental retinal image of the original. How else would it be conceivable that people come to see things only after they have been photographed? How else would it be possible for photography to continually conquer new areas, or views, of reality? – It is, then, that the good photographer is a deceiver, a reality monger?"
(quot. Friedrich Achleitner, from: über das Abbild und das Abgebildete, Vienna 1985 and 2007)
