Elise Rasmussen:
An Alpine Trilogy
Opening November 1st!
This exhibition brings together three interconnected works that resonate in Banff’s alpine setting, where history, culture, and nature converge. Through rigorous research and lens-based media, Rasmussen recasts traditional narratives of history and nature through an exploration of the French and Swiss Alps.
Did You Know Blue Had No Name? explores the science and symbolism of the colour blue. The Year Without a Summer links an 1816 climatic anomaly to contemporary environmental crises. Nostalgia: A Return to the Alps in Five Vignettes examines the French and Swiss Alps as spaces of retreat and healing.
