This life-long exposure has surely influenced him and his artwork, and in this volume he depicts these resorts with a dispassionate eye, displaying the beauty of the setting but also the impact human industry has on the landscape. By photographing the same view from subtly different angles, he creates a more full reality of the scene. From Parr and Badger, “History of the Photobook, Vol. II": "Photographically, Niedermayr's images are beautiful, though not romantic. Indeed, they are anti-romantic. They hold firmly to depicting the social utilization of mountains, as opposed to showing man within the sublimity of nature."This book, with design by the Little Stars of Bethlehem, includes text by Sigrid Hauser, Francesco Bonami, and Guy Tortosa.
