The Ghost of a Mountain, 2005, shows a molehill-size pustule in the ground surrounded by twigs; through a radical shift in scale, it becomes a volcanic peak on which sits a Berchtesgaden smothered in graffiti. Berchtesgaden is a two-hour drive from Munich's airport. Germany too has a pair of "Intercons" scheduled for 2005, the Berchtesgaden mountain resort in the spring and a city centre property in Dusseldorf scheduled for the summer. |
