The River. from the Magic Mountain series

Inspired by the other-worldly landscape of the Western, US. The pristine rivers and craggy mountains create fantastical landscapes, like a journey to another planet.

Carl Jung writes: We constantly hear of Mahatmas and Rishis living away in the mountains of Tibet who are capable of all kinds of magical practices and in India this is also taken for granted; but when Shri Rama Krishna became interested in the question and tried to discover if such people existed, he did not find a single one. Usually it is the invisible or psychic reality which is meant.

I tried to capture this inspirational, magic, psychic reality here using medium format digital photography, high-resolution video, artificial intelligence, and video special effects.
