The Aspen Series
Since the late 80s Walter Niedermayr (*1952) has worked in alpine regions around the world, exploring the issues surrounding the presence and interference of people in these sensitive landscapes. In winter 2009 he was invited to Aspen, Colorado, where he created another series of his Alpine Landscapes. In forty-two multipart photo and video works, the artist depicts the winter landscape of the Rocky Mountains. The work is marked by the beautiful illusion of the Aspen ski resort and the wintry mountain world surrounding it. Yet at the same time the visual sequences reflect upon their own reality, which the artist reveals through the medium of photography. They feature snowy landscapes, recreation centers, and sophisticated, tourist-oriented urban spaces, while at the same time touching upon the limitations of the representational.
Exhibition schedule: on permanent display at various venues in Aspen, Colorado, curated by Chris Byrne.
