Con la stessa intensità che Renate Aller ha mostrato nel suo precedente lavoro, nel quale erano ritratti oceani e deserti, in Mountain Interval cambiail modo di vedere e sentire la scala e la grandezza del soggetto.
Si tratta infatti di fotografie – scultura di fronte alle quali grazie anche alla vertiginosa prospettiva l’osservatore può interagire con le immagini delle montagne creando una relazione paritaria e mai opprimente. La fotografa infatti ci propone un dialogo intimo con queste giganti opere d’arte della natura evidenziandone i dettagli, le vene e la texture delle rocce nel loro naturale stato transitorio.

Renate Aller è nata in Germania, vive e lavora a New York.

Solo Exhibition: 24 March – 28 April

Opening Saturday 24 March, 6pm

The artist will be present, and will be signing copies of her book published by Radius Books

On view will be metallic c-prints mounted behind an acrylic block showing the monumental peaks of over 10 mountains on 6 continents:

Nepal, Himalayas

With the same intensity of Renate Aller’s previous work, in which oceans and deserts were portrayed, Mountain Interval changes the way we see and feel the scale and the size of the subject. In this exhibition the viewer engages with these photographs in the form of small sculpture, creating a shift in perspective which allows the observer to interact with the images of the mountains via an equal and non-oppressive relationship. The photographer offers us an intimate dialogue with these giant artworks of nature by highlighting the details, the veins and the texture of the rocks in their natural transitory state.
