about the work
This very beautiful panoramic photograph honors Dufourspitze and Nordend, two emblematic summits of the Monte Rosa massif, in the Valais Alps. The Dufourspitze, with its superb glaciers, is the highest mountain in Switzerland.I made this work at daybreak, after the passage of a spring storm. While the sky has just cleared, a new disturbance is coming. The clouds are getting denser and cling to the freshly snowed rocks. The last rays of light illuminate their magnificent white coat before the sky darkens and engulfs the summits. In the photograph, several climbers are hurrying down the monterosa gletscher on skis to avoid being trapped by the fury of the winds. Slowed down by the large mass of snow that had fallen during the night, they were forced to turn back before reaching the Dufourspitze pass. The insignificant size of the men in the picture reminds us of our necessary humility in the face of the power of the mountain and the force of the elements.
By the softness of light tones, I wanted to retranscribe in this work the intensity of the fight that is played between sky and earth. The photograph also highlights the incredible scale of Dufourspitze and Nordend. Their inaccessible cliffs and their imposing glaciers reveal their infinite grandeur. While we usually stand back from the Mount Rose massif, the mountains take up the whole picture here. The work invites us to a total immersion in the heart of the inaccessible and the wild.
