The photographs of the mountains were taken in the 1970s and rediscovered decades later by the artist in her family’s photo albums. By then, the cyan had largely deteriorated—a chemical process in which the blue pigments fade. What remains are yellow and red tones. The mountains now glow in an unreal orange, almost like a landscape on another planet.
The altered state of the images is further developed through scanning. Individual details are newly selected and printed onto photographic paper. While the originals continue to fade in the album, the prints preserve a specific moment within this ongoing process. The work draws attention to the material transformation of images and to their temporal dimension. Like our memory, photographic material is not a stable archive—yet this continuous change does nothing to diminish the beauty of the motifs.
