MOUNTAINS WITH SUBTITLES - Manfred Naescher
E-mail this product to a friend10 drawings of mountains from movies.
Basing the approach for this series of drawings on the ideas of interplay and chance, I invited a number of artists, curators, designers, musicians and journalists to submit screenshots or photos of mountains in films with subtitles. The ready-made juxtapositions of text and image that I received through e-mail and that I then translated into drawings on paper offer varying degrees of tension between what is said and what is shown. The subtitles range from the prosaic or descriptive to the obscure and metaphysical. From the interplay between text and image arises a complex reciprocal relationship between the ephemeral, intangible nature of language and the relative permanence of the mountain.
