The Glaciers

2020 - 2021

The Concept

Freed from the ice are mountains and valleys,
not by springtime’s graceful and cordial glance,
it’s mankind’s exorbitant quest and greed,
that drives the glaciers from the peaks.

Since eternal times, WATER, morphed into the ICE of mighty glaciers has been carving valleys into mountains and shaping plains. Driven by man-made global warming, glaciers are retracting at increasing rates. Now the vanished can only be seen on fascinating and dismaying photographs.

The Terragraphics of prominent alpine glaciers created in this project constitute an artistic snapshot of this process.

The EARTH for this project will be collected at the tongues and snouts of prominent alpine glaciers (the northernmost, the southernmost, the easternmost, the westernmost, the largest, the smallest, the most powerful, the oldest, the most famous, the most dangerous, etc.)
Three of the five German glaciers will be included.
