It all began with Luis Trenker and his 1938 high mountain drama The Mountain Calls, the film that brought the beautiful but dangerous world of the mountains to cinemas in northern Germany and probably in the rest of the world. Mountains became a place of longing for nature, love and adventure. A place just as dangerous as the Wild West, only within reach. Certainly very few people today remember Luis Trenker and hardly anyone associates today’s mountain boom in contemporary art, especially in big cities like Berlin, with him. Yet there are many reasons to be artistically inspired by mountains. One of them is the fact that mountains are best viewed from a distance. When I climb a mountain all I see of its beauty are bare rocks, and my eye quickly searches for the summit of a neighbouring mountain or looks into the enticing valley. What a paradoxical change of perspective: beauty is always where I am not. So the longing for beauty can never be satisfied, which is probably one reason why artists constantly add new mountains to the list of 1,187,049 that have already been explored.
