The Hills Have Crazy Eyes - Woman in a Landscape

"The Hills Have Crazy Eyes - Woman in a Landscape" by Anna McCarthy is a poetic-philosophical work that, in its search for change and healing, juxtaposes the structures of violence against women with man's interaction with nature. An assemblage of fragments of self-experience and quotations in German and English, told through the history of the perception of nature and mountaineering, accompanied by sketches, drawings and paintings made during McCarthy's own mountaineering expeditions en plein air. The book is the second part of a dilogy. The first volume, 'Trickles & Oozes', is an anthology of drawings of melting figures. Both books relate to the performance 'The Hills Have Crazy Eyes', which premiered at the Münchner Kammerspiele in May 2024. The book is funded by Stiftung Kunstfonds.
