What you see in this blog are impressions, reflections, and historical events from my journey. I work with analog black and white photography. The final photos will follow later.

‘Monte pianto, mountain of tears as the Italian soldiers called this battlefield.
Walking over this land in some sunny weather is strange, calm and silent (all the tourists went for Tre Cime). But it is full of trenches and old pictures tell their own story.
Mountain high, civilization low… during the war the northern side was occupied by the Austrians, the south peak by the Italians.
Returning here after two years on this place. Although it is quiet it scares me again. Astonished, baffled by the many scars in this land, a wounded landscape in which you wonder how and thàt humanity is capable of this. Walking and musing about the question of what is the cause of such conflicts.
Well, I have a suspicion. But for now, in this landscape, bearing wittness, somehow I have a feeling many aspects of this project are coming together. Landscape as object, as subject, as metaphor for a personal fuzzy reason of this journey.
