In his illustrated book "Erlebnis Berg: Zeit zum Atmen" (Mountain Experience: Time to Breathe), mountaineer, writer and photographer Reinhard Karl expressed the attitude to life of a generation of mountaineers and climbers. The Heidelberg native had a unique ability to express his own thoughts, feelings and experiences on the mountain in words and pictures. Unfortunately, Reinhard died much too early, at the age of 35, on Cho Oyu (8153 m) – May 19, 2022 was the 40th anniversary of his death. He lives on, however, in his words and photographs. Author and filmmaker Tom Dauer uses the example of artist Clara Happ to show that Reinhard's works have lost none of their uniqueness. The 30-year-old creates woodcuts and linocuts based on Reinhard's photographs. Rather than striving to reproduce details, Clara tries to understand the touching power of the texts and the timeless aesthetics of the black-and-white and color images – and to use analog technology to share their beauty in the present.
