Renate Aller: Mountain Interval
Renate Aller made the monumental, yet intimate photographs in Mountain Interval from locations across six continents—mountains as high as 22,500 feet (adjacent to Mount Everest) to the European glaciers and mountain peaks of her childhood vacations.
Similar to the sand dune images from Ocean | Desert (2014), the artist engages us with these giants in all their detail, the veins and textures of the rocks in their constantly transient state. Aller isolates the mountain from its expected surroundings, using and presenting the familiar and the known in an intimate way, relating to parallel realities from different locations, opening up conversations between the different (political) landscapes in which we live.
