about the work
A magnificent portrait ofObergabelhorn standing between light and shadow at the bottom of val d’Anniviers. This black and white photograph of the mountain is the fruit of an adventure. For this jewel of the Valais Alps can only be admired after several hours' walking. And when I finally come face to face with this perfect pyramid, it reveals all its beauty. The fabulous folds of its snow cover, the elegance of its lines and the details of its rock. So, with my heart full of emotion, I photograph it to convey to you the magic of this unique moment.Spring 2016. This is the season when the mountains are at their most beautiful. I spend the night at the Mountet hut. Bad weather is forecast, but that's all I know. The hut is one of the few places in the Alps where there's no cell phone reception. Cut off from the world, I immerse myself in the wilderness that surrounds me, under the gaze of summits at over 4000 meters altitude. After a few hours' sleep, I leave the night hut and climb on sealskins to the spot that will sublimate the grandeur ofObergabelhorn. The further I go, the more clouds there are around summit. Will I be able to complete my work before the storm gets the better of it? Am I in danger if I continue my ascent?
Despite my doubts, I keep going, because my passion for the mountains is stronger than anything else. Whatever the cost, I must reach it. And when I finally contemplate it like this, the diamond of the Alps carried by the shadow of its great gendarme, I feel all the strength of its soul vibrate within me. The dawn, filtered through the mist, illuminates her snow-white face. And as a mountain photographer, I immortalize the rebirth ofObergabelhorn at dawn.
