Work from The Living Mountain.
“…Awoiska van der Molen’s audiovisual installation The Living Mountain (2022) shows the grand landscapes of the Südtirol Alps in Austria, the homeland of Thomas Larcher, composer of the accompanying music. In this compelling work, Van der Molen’s atmospheric black-and-white photography and the experimental score merge as often as they collide with the music, revealing the monumentality and fragility of the mountains. The promise of untouched nature is close at hand, and it is appealing to lose ourselves in a sensory installation like this, which Van der Molen is making for the first time in her long photographic career…” – Iris Sikking from Contested Landscapes at Kunsthalle Mannheim
