About this artwork
This photo project involves photographs of mountain peaks that, rotated 90 degrees, resemble profiles of human faces.
The term “pareidolia” describes the ability to recognize a face, human figure, or animal in abstract shapes such as clouds or mountains.
The picture shows "Pilatus". It is the local mountain of Lucerne in Switzerland. It has several peaks such as the Mittaggüpfi (1,917 m) and the Widderfeld (2,075 m).
The Pilate legend, which… originated in late antiquity, was particularly popular in the Middle Ages.

Bernhard Lang, photographer and painter, creates fascinating aerial photographs from above. His technique: leaning over the open door of an airplane, he captures the interaction between humans and nature with a medium format camera. His works reveal the painful beauty of this tension.
