Riafn

How do a landscape and the inhabitants within sound? A large pasture area in the Alps is the work place for a sundry of shepherds and farmers. Over long distances, their calls intermingle and echo against the rocks. The communication turns into a song, a question about who is addressing whom, and who – and in what form – is answering. Hannes Lang portrays people who lead isolated lives in the mountains and work in front of a backdrop of great panoramas. But not only do the calls of people move over the meadows and slopes; large herds of animals, too, produce their own world of sound.
