In The Art of Climbing a (Non-Existent) Mountain, artist Eric Francisco reimagines a climbing expedition on a mountain in its absence, a long-gone landscape that now exists solely through perception.
Combining photographs from a mysterious encounter with a mountain during a neighborhood walk and detourned excerpts from René Daumal’s novel Mount Analogue, Francisco explores the mystery in objective chance–synthesizing photography with Situationist concepts such as psychogeography and détournement to create a new (un)reality.
