Facing South is a personal document by a "transplanted European" coming to terms with "The American South." Having grown up in the mountains of Switzerland, the vastness and flatness of the Southern Landscape are disorienting and sometimes frightening to someone used to the massive geological fix-points of the Alps. Facing South is in many ways a personal defense. I am responding to the vast and open land, the chaotic poetry of the rural existence and the apparent isolation of those dwelling in it, as well as the disproportionately fast-lived urban landscape around me. (My studio in North Carolina is in the center of the quintessential boom town of Charlotte, an environment which changes at the hands of a few, as if brought on by the season!)
