Alexander Lindsay: Altitude

Forty feet wide, a gargantuan photographic print is at first unsettling. The image demands attention. It has a sense of finality and an insistent, pulsating, presence. As you approach, a journey begins, the eye wandering through desolate valleys and angry skies. Closer still and sharp, tangible details emerge in the distance: seams of copper, iron and sulphur on volcanoes and individual flamingos on distant salt lakes.

Piano Nobile is proud to present their second exhibition at their new Kings Place gallery. Alexander Lindsay's ALTITUDE was photographed during a 20,000 mile, eight-month overland expedition across South America. Printed in extraordinary detail on a monumental scale, his photographs capture the endless variety of vistas, from the remote, high-altitude deserts of Bolivia, Argentina and Chile, to the bleak desolation of the Beagle Channel and Cape Horn.
