This Land Is Your Land

Knecht’s installation centres on Alpine regions, and on myths and legends in particular. Transcendence plays a no less inherent role in her photographic series entitled Tschinn (2014–), in which she not only exhibits a photograph but also a mask and an outfit. For the opening, visitors were served high-proof “spirit” from a block of ice; from Gletschermilch (2022), a schnapps which Knecht distilled herself from eleven mountain herbs.
