In Meta-Panorama, many pages of an atlas about the Alpine mountains are laid out in a continuous panoramic line. These images are covered by drawings painted on transparent plates that cover the view of the landscape. The pictures are shown on tables. Meta-Panorama is part of the works Alpenprojekt, which began with research relating to Germany’s southern region. The representation of that specific place was then perceived as “contaminated” by a fractional historical memory, either by forgotten or intentionally silenced facts.

Alpenprojekt makes up the first part of the Mountain Trilogy. They are grouped into three moments in which the relationships between nature and culture continuously act in the perception and representation of specific places. Alpenprojekt is related to the mountains of the Alps; Beckton Alps refers to the research of an artificial mountain built on London’s outskirts. Second Nature is associated with the human-made mountains constructed in Germany from the post-II war period ruins.
