Michael Goldgruber Bruchzonen Modulations in the Alpine world in the age of the climate crisis
It is a known fact that manmade climate change is especially prominent in alpine topography. The Austrian photographer Michael Goldgruber examines the marginal parts of glacier, snow, and rock zones with a critical eye.
From the Preface by Sophie Haslinger:
Goldgruber’s photographic works show sections of these landscapes that reflect a human dilemma – the longing for romantic landscape images on the one hand, and the reality of the countryside as altered by human activity on the other.
(…) Unlike classic landscape panoramas with their idealized images of nature, in Goldgruber’s works there is often no horizon, the proportions and scale remain unclear, the ice and rock formations fill the picture completely. The alpine world becomes an actor in its own right – it crumbles, melts, transforms.
