‘I CLIMBED A MOUNTAIN ONCE’
negotiates the motif of the mountain as a symbol of romanticism, as an enduring place of retreat, as a ‚sacred place‘. It is about individual experience, physical achievement. It‘s about reaching the summit. The motif, much cited in paintings, becomes an actual act. Contrary to expectations, the pictures show a mountain landscape that has been strongly influenced by infrastructural interventions. The mountain is no longer climbed, the summit is reached by cable car.
