Photographer Bernhard Lang is photographing mountain ranges. In Germany, Austria, Switzerland and Slovenia. He turns his photos 90 degrees and we see faces. In the series “Pareidolia – Mountain Faces”, he captures with his lens also well-known and almost unknown natural landscapes which look like human faces if the photos are turned.
It is no coincidence that the Munich-based photographer named his series of photographs “Pareidolia – Mountain Faces”: in the psychological phenomenon of pareidolia an indistinguishable or vague external stimulus is mistaken for a clear and fully recognizable one. We often recognize faces in the clouds or on the surface of the Moon.
In the “faces” of the mountains he photographs, Lang gives names: in the Vršič Pass in Slovenia he has given the name “Golem”, the mythical helpless but omnipotent figure who decides, in Gustav Meyrink’s novel, to bring Rabbi Levy to life as he precedes that some danger threatens the Jewish ghetto in Prague. Another goes by the name “Bavarian Leader” (because it brings to mind an Indian leader). In another, Lang has given the name “Sleeping Greek”, a large grassy rock is “Donald Trump”.
