Hans Danuser The Mount Fuji of Davos Kirchner Museum Davos

The Kirchner Museum Davos presents Hans Danuser’s photo series based on the ›matography‹ technique – for the first time and in its entirety – in an exhibition titled The Mount Fuji of Davos. Inspired by the striking avalanche barriers on the Schiahorn, the artist developed his unique pictorial form while looking out the
window of his studio.
His pictograms drawn in eroding shale sand depict mountain and volcano imagery in ever new, subtle variations and sequences. Invariably, the mountain is the focus of artistic exploration. To this end, Danuser uses not only a combination of both analogue and digital photography, but also a colouring technique known
as ›matography‹, which he himself developed.
Essays by Philip Ursprung and Gerd Folkers accompany this body of work by Hans Danuser, drawing a line from one end of the world to the other – from Mount Fuji to Davos.
