Āshkhārhātzūytz - Visual Chrestomathy of the Mount Analogue Inland Peak Expedition

The installation is inspired by The Mount Analogue, a symbolic novel of mountaineering geographic adventures by René Daumal, left unfinished due to the premature death of the author. Āshkhārhātzūytz imagines, through a visual compendium inspired by passages of Daumal’s novel and its missing part, the mystical topography of the summit of the Mount Analogue, which for the same analogical reason must necessarily be quarried. Introducing inside the external specular landscape, the climb is celebrated in the descent to the abyss where the upper skies are disbanded.
