From ancient times to the present, the Alps have had mythological, spiritual and romantic significance. Recognisable peaks, like the Matterhorn, have become trademarks for chocolate companies and the like; their rugged profiles filtering into our everyday lives, even in places far away. Over the past century, advances in engineering have made access to viewing platforms easy in the Alps, and now thousands of tourists line up to photograph these scenic vistas every day.

In Don’t Look Down, Rimmer subverts these well-worn perspectives, asking us to reconsider the familiar. By inverting the imagery and employing an unnatural colour palette, the landscapes lose their reassuring clarity. They become alien, disquieting. In this deliberate estrangement, Rimmer invites us to question not only the landscapes themselves but the collective memory that shapes how we think we know them.
