The Glacier Is a Being (2023)

A time lapse recorded over the course of four months, from February until June 2022, at the Fee Glacier in Saas-Fee, Switzerland. The camera, connected to a car battery, was programmed to take a picture every hour and was installed at the wall of a mountain hut next to the glacier. Stitched together, it shows the flowing motion of this glacier.

The time lapse allows humans to enter a non-human time-dimension; to perceive from a non-human perspective – in that case the dynamic motion of a glacier.

Shown in an installation, it is projected onto a 1:4000 physical model (emulsion paint on XPS, 120x80 cm) of said glacier.
