Description:

Contemporary photography by Jens Haas: “The Mountain Project” is Jens Haas’ most recent gallery project. All images were made in the Italian Alps, or more precisely, the Dolomites, close to the Venetian border. Jens Haas is best known for his photography in large cities, such as Berlin or New York. In “The Mountain Project,” Jens Haas brings the same perspective which shapes his urban photography to the stony and deserted landscape of the Dolomites. The photographs are taken at an altitude where the Alps look like another planet. Haas’ images show the fascinating beauty of the mountains, and the strangeness of a landscape that only the more adventurous hikers ever see. This new book is a must have for anyone with a love for the beauty of nature, and for classical black-and-white photography with an entirely modern feel.
