THE HIGH VIEW | pursuing nature | TOURISM REGARDED<\/b><\/b><\/p>\n
The narrative of our times demands that artists deal with concerns regarding immigration, disadvantaged groups, precarious living conditions, gender relations, oppressed peoples, war and or climate change.<\/p>\n
Of course these are all honourable and important topics<\/p>\n
However I prefer to focus on an aspect of our society that is more particular for many people and a subject most people can relate to; tourism!<\/p>\n
At some point we all are tourists and for instance go to the Alps for our holidays.<\/p>\n
The impact of tourism, particularly the impact it has on the landscape of the mountain regions of Central Europe interest me very much.<\/p>\n
The Alps are were urban people go to play, indulge their fantasies and relax.<\/p>\n
Tourism has altered the landscape of the Alps dramatically. Without tourism there would be almost no economic base for living and or working in the mountains.<\/p>\n
The Alps are more accessible than ever before. Through railways, roads, tunnels and a variety of cable cars every corner and mountaintop is now, more than ever before in any season easily within reach of the tourist.<\/p>\n
We think about the Alps as lovely and benign.<\/p>\n
Actually they can be dangerous, inhospitable and hostile.<\/p>\n
I look at all these developments with admiration, criticism, indignation, wonder and desire.<\/p>\n
I, the photographer, the artist and the tourist.\u00a0 \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n My photographs are taken with an analogue 4×5\u201d large format camera.<\/p>\n Which is a time consuming, slow and meditative process.<\/p>\n The photographs seldom have an unequivocal subject.<\/p>\n A LANDSCAPE OF LEISURE<\/p>\n The images are about space, how it is experienced in the physical, visual, literal and abstract.<\/p>\n A SUBLIME LANDSCAPE<\/p>\n The objects, be they houses, trees or mountains define and enclose rather then occupy the space.<\/p>\n A FANTASY LANDSCAPE<\/p>\n NATURE AS ENTERTAINMENT<\/p>\n Focusing on the landscape, urban, rural and remote.<\/p>\n How the social, cultural and historical development of the Alps shapes the physical landscape.<\/p>\n NATURE AS PLAYGROUND<\/p>\n A ROMANTIC LANDSCAPE<\/p>\n A non-narrative perception of the world.<\/p>\n A POETIC LANDSCAPE<\/p>\n Quiet, slow, meditative.<\/p>\n A DEADLY LANDSCAPE<\/p>\n Total absorption in the experience.<\/p>\n A MYTHICAL LANDSCAPE<\/p>\n THE EPIC VIEW | nature uncovered | TOURISM PERCEIVED <\/i><\/b><\/p>\n <\/i><\/b><\/p>\n <\/i><\/b><\/p>\n Bob Negryn<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_toggle][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row use_custom_gutter=”on” gutter_width=”2″ _builder_version=”4.27.5″ _module_preset=”default” custom_css_free_form=”.mfp-bg {||background: #eff4fc !important;||opacity: 1 !important;||}||.mfp-close {||color: #000000 !important;||}||.mfp-arrow-right .mfp-a, .mfp-arrow-right:after {||color: #000000 !important;||}||.mfp-arrow-left .mfp-a, .mfp-arrow-left:after {||color: #000000 !important;||}||.mfp-title {||display: none !important;||}||.mfp-counter {||color: #666666 !important; margin-top: 10px !important;||}|| .mfp-figure:after {||display: none !important;|| }” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_column type=”4_4″ _builder_version=”4.27.5″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_gallery gallery_ids=”693,209,210,211,212,213,214,215,216,217,218,219,220,221,222,223,224,225,226,227,228,229,230,231,232,233,234,235,236,237,238,239,240,241,242,243,244,245,246,247,248,249,250,251,252,253″ posts_number=”50″ show_title_and_caption=”off” show_pagination=”off” _builder_version=”4.27.6″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}” hover_enabled=”0″ sticky_enabled=”0″][\/et_pb_gallery][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" The High ViewTHE HIGH VIEW | pursuing nature | TOURISM REGARDED | 1990 – 2026 The impact of tourism on the landscape of the Alps.
