Treeless landscape at Cairngorms National Park in Scotland. Land surfaces in Northern Scotland mostly seem to be covered by grass, heather and gores. There used to be forests below the tree line (600-800m) until trees were cut to build ships, build mines and - during the industrial revolution - to make space for sheep, which were needed for wool production.

Ringraziamenti / Acknowledgements


We are grateful to the comune di Germignaga for having given us the opportunity to exhibit at the beautiful century-old Ex-Colonia Elioterapica di Germignaga. Communication and practical arrangements with the administration have worked perfectly. We would particularly like to thank Marisa Lenardon for having brought us there and for helping us with all the practical matters, and Germignaga's mayor, Dott. Marco Fazio, for his introduction to the exhibition.


We highly value the advice of our experienced photographer friend Rudolf Hummel, who helped us select and sequence photos and who told us frankly when he did not agree with our choices.


We strongly benefited from the gallery experience of our friend Candice Gärtner, who gave us good advice on the setup and helped hands-on with the catalogue and the labels.


'Vintage DJ' Stefano Bruno created a very pleasant and attractive ambiance at the vernissage by putting on his original selection of 45 RPM vinyl records and by sensitively adapting the music to the mood of the guests.


Finally, our friends Nadia Valgiusti and Jean-Jacques Langueh from the Panetteria Panacea in Sesto Calende provided their delicious pizza and various types of yummy bread, thus adding also culinary satisfaction to the vernissage evening.
