Summary

Bastiaan van Aarle invites readers to reconsider the nature of time and landscapes through photography. Rather than presenting mountains as fixed and unchanging, the book showcases their transformation via shifting light caused by Earth's rotation. This delicate interplay of light and form creates a soft palette of colours, encouraging a fresh perspective on familiar vistas. The journey through the images moves beyond surface details like erosion and tree lines, inspiring reflection on the meanings of time and the mountain itself.

Description

We often say that photography captures a moment in time. It is static and doesn't change, like an immovable mountain. Bastiaan van Aarle shows us a different way of thinking about both time and the mountain. Not as something fixed, but ever changing.

He does this by capturing the change in light, caused by the rotation of the planet. It appears as a soft colour palette in the images. It transforms the mountain and forces us to look differently.

The book takes us on the same journey as the photographer. Past the details of erosion and the tree line to the beautiful vistas. We are given the time to stop and think what both the mountain and time can mean to us.

About the Author

BASTIAAN VAN AARLE (*1988) explores the boundaries of photography, the medium-specific properties and how they relate to the perception of reality. Such as the effect of light through time, the transformation of invasive advertising panels into self-destructive non-places or, as in Moving Mountains, the movement of the planet through time and space. He experiments with different photographic techniques, adds external elements to the image or combines different images into a new whole.
