Melting Landscapes.
Sight and Sound Observations of the Morteratsch Glacier

Book with LP, Institute of Landscape Architecture 2018

"Rapid ice melt has been profoundly shaping the alpine region in recent years.
It has become an omnipresent and tangible phenomenon, and an iconic symbol
of ongoing climate change. Over the past three years, we have been
documenting the melting landscapes of the Morteratsch Glacier region,
using underwater and self made contact microphones, as well as large-
and medium-format analog photography. The sounds of the moving ice
mass contrast with the eerie silence of the black and white pictures.

The selection of works in this publication turn the evanescent beauty of
the glacier into a strong sensory experience; they thus become meaningful witnesses of the rapid changes to come in the alpine landscape." –
