Electric Mountains
C-prints, HD video, 2009
Kneubühler’s Electric Mountain series commanded attention by capturing
the eerie nighttime illuminations of Quebec ski resorts in photos that were
both ironically picturesque and seriously documentary. Like something out
of Close Encounters of the Third Kind, his photos show a strange,
abandoned recreational universe where the lit slopes seem like sign code
directed to the stars. (Richard Rhodes)
