Hiker against Skiers - Dila Demircan Ozer (Social Design)
Hiker against Skiers is a project from Dila Demircan Ozer as part of the semester project "Auf der Jagd nach Schnee" (University of Applied Arts Vienna/ Social Design supervised by Brigitte Felderer, Elina Kränzle, Anna Vasof and David Schessl).
Friedrich Nietzsche praised mountains for their great viewing possibilities. But reaching the top required an effort to climb. Today, reaching the top can be effortless and skiing downhill is an adventurous and fun experience, providing instant gratification. But at what cost? Hiker against Skiers investigates contemporary effort and effortlessness on mountains with a video installation that depicts the differences in how we consume nature today.
