Moreness 01 Above the Tree Line

The paper magazine MORENESS – A monograph on the state of being more investigates and interrogates the Dolomites as a living and lived contemporary space through sets of trans-disciplinary trilogies. Text and image interlace in a narrative that can be read horizontally according to the table of contents or vertically following six hyperlinks running thematically through the volume. Quotes & Notes complete the immersive reading experience pushing the reader beyond the paper confines of the magazine.

Moreness’ mountain trilogy is a metaphorical descent from the pinnacle of high-altitude mountain to the trees and woods populating the back of the boulders, and down to the core of wood and timber. A word-and-image journey into the shades and scale of the Dolomites rendered palpable through a sartorial choice of paper, design and typography, tailored to the materiality and meaning proper of a multidimensional kind of mountain.

In “MORENESS – Above the Tree Line” the penetrating gaze of architects, scientists, philosophers, artists and thinkers smoothens the rough edges of the Dolomites to reveal the artistic, scientific and spiritual potential of this “place of the impossible”. Cultural high-altitude mountaineering as a trans-disciplinary activity of the mind and the body alike.
