about the work
I stand alone beyond the world, dominating the kingdom of heaven with my towering splendor. Defying the rising sun from my sharp peak. In search of the absolute and intimate truth. Monumental portrait ofEiger, lord of the high mountains. Many an adventurer has lost his life to reach summit. For this thousand-year-old pyramid rises up against the winds to protect its territory. Located in the bernese alps area, north of the Alps, it bears the full brunt of the most violent storms.To create this magnificent black and white photograph, I flew toEiger after the storm. When the mountain reappears at dawn, dressed in a sumptuous white coat. Piercing the clouds, it points skywards like a shark's fin rising from the waves. Through this aerial view ofEiger, I wanted to highlight the mountain from a different angle. A new point of view that reveals another facet of its personality. Powerful and sublime.
Carried by a sea of clouds straight out of a dream,Eiger guides our gaze towards infinity. Towards a world where anything is possible again. Our minds drift away, as the mist gradually detaches itself from its crest. Illuminated by the sun's first rays, new details appear on the rocks. New textures. Between light and shadow, perspectives are transformed and the photograph takes shape in three dimensions. The work is alive, nourished by the changing light and the breath of the wind. So that it can be reinterpreted again and again. Because every day is a new adventure. I experience photography as an introspective journey. ContemplatingEiger at search . Venerable majesty, the mountain invites us to evolve. To give the best of ourselves to contribute to the blossoming of life and perpetuate the beauty of the world.
