Bastiaan van Aarle

We often say that photography captures a moment in time. It is static and doesn’t change, like an immovable mountain. Bastiaan van Aarle shows us a different way of thinking about both time and the mountain. Not as something fixed, but ever changing. He does this by capturing the change in light, caused by the rotation of the planet. It appears as a soft color palette in the images. It transforms the mountain and forces us to look differently. The book takes us on the same journey as the photographer. Past the details of erosion and the tree line to the beautiful vistas. We are given the time to stop and think what both the mountain and time can mean to us.
