Opening of the exhibition “The Second Death of George Mallory”
Because it is there.
The exhibition is open until 25 October 2015
The very important strike point for the upcoming exhibition is taken from a statement given by G.L. Mallory who, asked by a journalist of the New York Times why he wanted to ascent Mount Everest, gave this particular reason: Because it is there. This somewhat brief answer becomes a pretext to explore not so much Alpinism (Himalayan mountaineering), but hidden connections in the embodied cognition, one’s own (bodily) finiteness, its emancipation, and cognitive limits.
