Description

Die Bergwelt im Wandel dokumentiert auf höchstem künstlerischem Niveau Heute wie vor 150 Jahren: Ein preisgekrönter Fotograf auf den Spuren der Fotopioniere des 19. Jahrhunderts Die atemberaubende Landschaft der Alpen übte schon auf die Pioniere der Fotografie eine unwiderstehliche Anziehungskraft aus. Seit den 60er-Jahren des 19. Jahrhunderts nahmen Fotografen die Strapazen einer Gipfelbesteigung mit Steigeisen und einer viele Kilogramm schweren Fotoausrüstung auf sich, um die glanzvolle und einzig schöne Firnenwelt ins Flachland hinunter zu zaubern . Diese einzigartige Bergwelt hat bis heute nichts von ihrer Faszination verloren. ALP vereint drei Serien des Fotografen Olaf Unverzart, die in den letzten zwölf Jahren im gesamten Alpenraum entstanden sind. Dabei nimmt er auch die Mühsal des Aufstiegs mit einer analogen Grossformatkamera auf sich, um neben der überwältigenden Schönheit der Landschaft auch die Veränderungen durch Klimawandel und stetig zunehmenden Tourismus zu dokumentieren. In feinfühligen, farblich reduzierten und unprätentiösen Fotografien erfasst Olaf Unverzart die fragile Balance zwischen der zeitlosen Erhabenheit der alpinen Gipfel und den von Menschen verursachten Eingriffen und Zerstörungen dieser Landschaft.-- An accomplished young photographer, Olaf Unverzart, takes on an age-old subject and transforms the way we see the Alps. Serious Alpine photography began in the middle of the 19th century by photographers who lugged large plate cameras into inaccessible regions to produce some of the most spectacular images of their time. Nearly two hundred years later, Olaf Unverzart has photographed the Alps and given them a 21st century perspective. Disappearing glaciers, the steeply inclined asphalt roads of the Tour de France, machinery crushed by avalanches, or huge cement fortifications imbedded in rock and defying nature--Unverzart's large-format images focus on the marks humankind leaves behind when attempting to master nature. He also documents nature's own power--in the form of avalanches and mudflows--when it overcomes these misguided efforts. Much more than another collection of nature photographs, this volume is a powerful reminder of the ramifications of human intervention toward Earth's most majestic features--a story told without ideology or didactics, through the eyes of a keen and hopeful observer.--
