In this exhibition, Antoine Wagner constructs a language of landscape photography from the Swiss landscapes that inspired the music of Richard Wagner. His pictures sit in the line of romantic landscape art, in which the individual seeks, by contemplation of nature, physical contact with transcendence. Antoine continues this language today to the essence of silence found in the desert panoramas of Morocco, and the glaciers of Austria.

This exhibition, which explores the relationship between sound and image, is a collaboration of perspectives from the eyes and the ears of the artists and the viewers themselves.
