In the second half of the 19th century, running a business, practicing a skilled trade, or, least of all, being an alpinist was far from easy if you were a woman.
The period between 1865 and 1914 saw numerous wives of photographers active in mountaineering and mountain photography, and it would not be possible to include them all in this exhibition. Instead, four women photographers were selected to represent the group in this exhibition. Among them, Elizabeth Whitshed Main takes a special place as an outstanding photographer, alpinist, and the founder of winter alpinism in general and winter tourism in the region of Engadin, Switzerland, in particular. The exhibition also features works by Gertrude Bell, Eleonore Noll-Hasenclever, and Una Cameron, three distinguished alpinists, travel journalists, and women’s rights activists.
The life and work of these four pioneers of mountain photography are exhibited in rotation.
Gerdrude Bell is currently being exhibited.
Curator: Richard Piock (TAP – Süd)
An exhibition in cooperation with Soroptimist Club Pustertal and TAP - Süd

OPENING TEMPORARY EXHIBITION: 12/07/2025
My wife and I were expecting the birth of our daughter in 2021, the year my book MASSIV was published. During this time, I felt a growing desire to send a strong message about the protection of the Alps. That‘s why I donated all of the proceeds from the book – over 100,000 euros – to projects aimed at preserving our mountains.
I didn‘t want to have to explain to my daughter later that I had stood by and done nothing while our Alps were under threat.
Shortly before the book was published, I also made a short film called "A letter to my daughter" – a personal, hopeful letter to my unborn child.

Transart is a multidisciplinary festival ranging from music to dance, from figurative arts to performance. Together with its audience, it discovers the most contemporary, stimulating and artistic expressions, always attentive to the rhythm of time.
"A TALK FROM REMOTE":
In A Talk from Remote, the artist Marina Abramovic —joining from Manchester—speaks about her artistic practice and evolution.
"NOVA SELVA SONORA":
Nova Selva Sonora is a new project by the Azione_Improvvisa ensemble, aimed at exploring extremely rich and diverse sound worlds, in which the visual experience takes over to create a bridge with the sound dimension. At the heart of the project is a suggestion: that of a forest where time compresses and dilates, and where human presence becomes elusive or transposed, double or absent. The musical narration is entrusted to the four musiciansə of Azione_Improvvisa: Andrea Antonel on the theorbo, Margherita Berlanda on accordion, Pietro Paolo Dinapoli on electric guitar and Daniela Fantechi on electronics.
Tickets: www.transart.it or at the box office.
