TITLE: A Glacier In The End Time

The development of the glaciers stretched globally over a period of thousands of years. The current climate warming and warming of the earth accelerates the melting of most glaciers worldwide. Regrettably, people have recognized these connections too late. Nature offers us here the spectacle of a dying glacier. Global warming could have left the glaciers disappearing in this century. The effects of climate warming do not seem to be easily visible to people, but this is not the case with this Swiss glacier.

My photographs of 2016 show the different measures of workers, researchers and photographers who want to save part of this glacier in southern Switzerland. The numerous planes from fleece on the glacier surface are supposed to reflect the warm sunlight.


When we look beyond the glacier, we discover a strange landscape with new, surprising facets. In the unusual silence reveals bizarre forms of ice and covered glacier fronts, which seem to us like unreal, majestic icebergs.
At the same time, we see scenes of a landscape, which constantly shows the glacier ice in different kind of peculiar wrappings.
