Thomas Kneubühler’s “Electric Mountains” photographs are currently being exhibited at ProjexMtl Galerie in Montréal. When he first visited Canada, the Swiss-born Kneubühler became interested in photographing mountains lit for night skiing because they reminded him of an “installation or land-art project,” he says in his artist’s statement. Working in freezing temperatures with a set of snowshoes, topographic maps and a Sinar 4×5 camera, Kneubühler made the images with four-minute exposures on color negative film.
Wow! Fantastic idea!
