Zeit zum Atmen – Reinhard Karl

The climber and photographer Reinhard Karl describes a mountain world, which gives you the unadorned beauty of adventure sports. Through the very authentic narratives of his experiences, but above all the revelation of his emotional world, complemented by expressive and contrasting photographs, a stirring and moving book was created. It is not without reason that "Erlebnis Berg-Zeit zum Atem", published in 1980, is considered one of the classics of mountaineering literature.

I, too, have been captivated by his words and images and taken on a journey. This gave me the impulse to go into an artistic dialogue with his work. The approach is through the traditional process of relief printmaking. Theme and technique enter into a "rope team", which makes the process also for me an exciting adventure, in which the unexpected happens, to which I will react, like Reinhard Karl on the mountain. So far, linocuts and blind embossing have been created, currently I continue to work on this series.
