about the work
Spectacular panorama from summit of the Oberaarhorn, 3631 m high, on the border between bernese alps and the Valais Alps. This magnificent mountain has given its name to every feature in the valley. To the glacier at its foot, to the lake into which it flows, to the hut built on the way to its summit. Through black and white, the photograph pays homage to it, sovereign of a wild territory whose majesty pierces me.I made this work in autumn, when the first snow had just covered summits. My rope-mates and I climbed the Oberaarhorn from the Grimsel Pass to the Oberaar hut. Before sunset, we prepared the route for our next ascent. Then, after a few hours' sleep, we left the Oberaarjochhütte while it was still dark, Next rigorously following our footprints in the fresh snow. Shortly before daybreak, we finally reached summit. Huddled in the shadows, we just had to wait. The cold was burning our skin and our hands were frozen. Until the sun came out and began to warm us up. Then the beauty of the landscape dawned on me, and I knew how to capture it. The rays of light brought the relief to life, filtered through the easternmost massifs. The mountains of Ticino, their sharp silhouettes rising out of the mist to meet the sky. Projections of light and shadow that endow the painting with incredible depth. The play of textures and materials reveals the personality of the mountains and valleys. The sun's rays guide our gaze from the Ticino region to the Oberaarhorn, letting our minds wander through the most beautiful landscapes in the Swiss Alps.
