the images of this photo project "pareidolia mountain faces" show mountain peaks that, rotated by 90 degrees, resemble profiles of human faces.
pilatus is the local mountain of luzern in switzerland. It has several peaks such as the mittagguepfi (1,917 m) and the widderfeld (2,075 m).
the pilatus legend, which originated in late antiquity, was particularly popular in the middle ages -
the mountain was first mentioned in a document in 1475 as pilatus.

"at a moment when society becomes increasingly aware of the need to reconnect with nature, pareidolia – mountains faces provides a refreshing take on the longstanding history of landscape art. Lang’s visually spectacular images remind us that humans, contrary to a dominant discourse that claims the supremacy of civilization embedded into our recent cultural imagination, are ultimately part of and have traditionally been humbled by the natural environment. At the same time, it seems to challenge and question the anthropocentric vision that imposes the human psyche onto a vast world that may be much more expansive, both spatially and temporally, than the confines of our deceivingly narrow perception."
