Description
In the mountains of Val Venosta there is fire in the sky, and not only from the colours rising and setting with the sun, but also from the symbolic customs dating as far back as the 11th century. All of the original photography was shot for this work whilst inspiration was drawn from the life work of Prof. Karl Horak.

Alex Rowbotham - Co-produced with Sabrina Horak, Art Director, Programmer, in addition to design, artwork, and photography. Music interpretation and performance by Gernot Niedefrfriniger and Johann Hohenegger with the Vinschger Choir; Fackeltanz performed by Helmuth Matzoll; plus live sound recordings of cultural events.
