The work of German, Bristol-based artist Mariele Neudecker (1965), explores the subject of landscape, its representation through art history and our subjective interpretation of it. Neudecker´s interest in landscape and nature at large, has been influenced namely by the artistic, philosophical, historical and the political dimension of the Romantic Sublime, as represented by Northern European landscape painting of the 19th century. Paintings by Karl Friedrich Schinkel, Caspar David Friedrich, Johan Christian Dahl, among others, have been a strong influence for Neudecker's practice, the point of departure of which, is the idea of reproducing an experience of a given reality, through the means of depiction and simulation.

- There is always Something More Important
installation has been inspired by Neudecker's trips to the Arctic Greenland in 2012, a place that possesses the world's second largest ice sheet. The work composed by sculpture and video, engages with the artist's direct experience of the landscape in Greenland, its impossibility of being grasped and with the limits tied to its perception. In her video, characterized by slow camera movement, which depicts a fragmented examination of the iceberg surface, Neudecker addresses the impossibility of capturing and translating a direct experience of an object of similar scale, onto a two-dimensional surface, while simultaneously questioning its later re-translation into a three-dimensional simulation of this reality. Neudecker tests the limits of illusion, thus blurring the boundaries between perception and representation, between the real and the artificial, between truth and imagination.
