The Mountain's Breath

(2025)

The Mountain’s Breath is a comprehensive and diverse account of the labyrinth under the Sint-Pietersberg. It mimics a visit inside the mountain with the knowledgeable and articulate Jan Spee as a guide. The book is filled with a multitude of curiosities, which Sven Gerhardt (NL) has compiled to preserve Spee’s cultural-historical and visual observations and make them accessible. The book gives an overview and provides context and cross-references to a large selection of images, interspersed with archival material about life in the quarries.
