Song for Glover | MARK SHORTER

During a one-day epic journey, I ascended Mt Wellington, Hobart within the guise of Schleimgurgeln. This was not a simple task. What would otherwise have been a relatively peaceful and invigorating hike soon became a challenge of farcical proportions. Partially blinded by eggs, protected by only a thin layer of feathers, and with no protection on my feet, my ascent would take more than eight hours. Consequently, a strange fissure in space and time unfolded. This fissure was made particularly manifest through the incongruity of the Schleimgurgeln body against the natural environment, which potentially created a new perception of the mountain and the landscape painting genre.
