Nordkette, Austria · 2334 m
August 2026
In August 2026, Vicky Anna Lardschneider spent a night at 2334 metres on the Hafelekar in the Nordkette, working directly with its rock surfaces.
The project explores how geological time can be encountered through physical contact with landscape – and what happens when the surface of a place becomes an active part of the work.
