About this title

Synopsis:

A series of panoramic photographs were taken of an alpine view from the balcony of a mountain lodge called the Rechenau, near Kiefersfelden In Bavaria. Maryam and Rolf Sachs focused their camera on two majestic mountain peaks, 'Der Zahme Kaiser' (the Tame Emperor) on the left and 'Der wilde Kaiser' (the Wild Emperor) on the right, that lie over the German border In Austria. The discipline for the project was rigorous, throughout 2004 the camera, which was housed in a specially built shelter, shot over 50,000 photographs, each taken every ten and a half minutes. The pictures succeeded in capturing nature's ever-changing moods.

About the Author:

Rolf Sachs studied business management and is a renowned London-based furniture and object designer. Maryam Sachs who holds a Masters in International Affairs, has published anthologies such as 'Der Mond' (the moon) and 'Der Kuss (the kiss).
