Summary:

The alpine summits captured in photographer Walter Niedermayr's works are neither picturesque nor scenic but instead overrun by the products of mass tourism -- ski lifts, mountaintop cafes, etc. The result is a sense of disorientation, in which the artificial markings of people have changed the scenery perhaps irrevocably. Like Andreas Gursky, Niedermayr reveals the ways in which nature is usurped by human infiltration.
