"South Tyrolean Chief", called "Dürrenstein" mountain , is a 2839 m high mountain in South Tyrol (Italy), which rises as the second highest peak of the Pragser Dolomites between the Braies Valley and the Höhlenstein Valley in the Fanes-Sennes-Braies Nature Park, and is considered as one of the most beautiful panoramic peaks of the Dolomites.


The "PAREIDOLIA  - MOUNTAIN FACES" PHOTO SERIES:

The images of this photo project show mountain peaks that, rotated by 90 degrees, resemble profiles of human faces. 
The term "Pareidolia” describes the ability to recognize a face, a human figure or an animal in abstract forms such as in clouds or mountains.
It is the tendency for perception of a visual stimulus as an object, pattern or meaning known to the observer.

"At a moment when society becomes increasingly aware of the need to reconnect with nature, PAREIDOLIA – Mountains Faces provides a refreshing take on the longstanding history of landscape art. Lang’s visually spectacular images remind us that humans, contrary to a dominant discourse that claims the supremacy of civilization embedded into our recent cultural imagination, are ultimately part of and have traditionally been humbled by the natural environment. At the same time, it seems to challenge and question the anthropocentric vision that imposes the human psyche onto a vast world that may be much more expansive, both spatially and temporally, than the confines of our deceivingly narrow perception."
Claire Ping for Musée Magazine, New York USA

The images had been published in prestigious Zeit Magazine, Germany 2021.

THE ARTIST:

Lang is best known for his award-winning aerial photography project Aerial Views, which earned numerous recognitions, including First Place at the Sony World Photography Awards in 2015. Today, his work spans various photographic and visual art projects, with a growing focus on digital artworks and abstract painting

Lang's work has been published in Times Magazin, The Washington Post, The Guardian, CNN, Wired, National Geographic Magazin, Corriere della Sera, Zeit Magazin, art magazine, mare, FAZ, Stern, Spiegel, SZ,  ... and and has produced artistic content for Apple, Aston Martin, Akris, Getty Images Creative, Sundek, Deutsche Welle TV Channel, …

He's aiming to find interesting looking patterns and structures on the surface of our planet. He also takes particular interest in capturing images, that show the impact of human’s activities on the nature and environment.
Lang’s images free us from the bonds of gravity and allow us to take a more detached look at the world and our effect on it — both good and bad. It is this duality that lang is most interested in investigating through his work, the strange balance between beauty and destruction, and the ongoing struggle for symbiosis between human kind and the earth we inhabit.

Lang’s work has been shown in several exhibitions worldwide, and his exclusively limited, museum quality Fine Art Prints are held in corporate and private collections.
