Fire and Sound: Gordon and Tschiember's Alpine Installation
In the Swiss Alps near Gstaad, the environmental installation "As close as you can for as long as it lasts" by Morgane Tschiember and Douglas Gordon is on view as part of the group exhibition "Elevation 1049: avalanche" until March 19. The work combines a large circle of fire set against snowy mountains with a soundscape of wind, footsteps, and howls. It merges land art, sound art, and performance, evoking both beauty and danger.
