“The Hills Have Crazy Eyes - Woman in a Landscape” deals with violence against women and mountaineering told through the history of alpinism and nature perception. Violence against women is addressed in a sentient search for new strategies of coping and healing.
The mountain as a symbol of aggression has become porous; the glaciers are melting and the rocks are crumbling. Summit fixation has become superfluous. A renaissance in the perception of nature occurs, told through a group of melting figures that have immersed themselves, been overgrown, and thus are able to communicate with the mountain as a living organism.
