Artist Talk with Elise Rasmussen – An Alpine Trilogy

Join The Whyte for an engaging artist talk and Q&A with Elise Rasmussen, as she discusses her exhibition An Alpine Trilogy. Through her interconnected works, Did You Know Blue Had No Name?, The Year Without a Summer, and Nostalgia: A Return to the Alps in Five Vignettes, Rasmussen explores the Alps as landscapes of discovery, disruption, and longing. Drawing on history, mythology, and personal reflection, she reimagines narratives of nature and memory, inviting audiences to consider how place shapes human experience and imagination.

An Alpine Trilogy brings together film, photography, and research-based storytelling to examine the cultural, ecological, and emotional resonance of mountain environments. Rasmussen’s approach weaves together archival inquiry, travel, and poetic observation, revealing how natural landscapes mirror human histories of curiosity, fragility, and transformation.
