PETER MATHIS - ALPINE PASSAGEN - 2016

Peter Mathis (1961) exhibits the first time his large landscape photography in Switzerland at Petra Gut Contemporary. Peter Mathis' landscape photography catapults us into another world. The experienced mountaineer often waits for the perfect moment for several days; when light, weather and the scenery exactly reflect the motif that he has been creating in his head. The landscape appears before us in a familiar way and yet his pictures always present something unknown, something we did not realise before. In doing so, he does not simply represent the mountains, lakes and nature, but illustrates their dignity and beauty.
