Watch the glacier disappear.The glaciers are disappearing and with them the natural and cultural landscape of Switzerland. The exhibition "Schau, wie der Gletscher schwindet" (Look how the glacier is disappearing) takes up the concern about this change in 2024. It relies on the power of art to name the change and make it visible. From Geneva to Graubünden and from Valais to Zurich, numerous museums and cultural institutions are supporting the event. As the ice melts and horizons dissolve, artists are erecting their works, even in the heart of the glaciers.From May 16 to September 8, 2024, the Glacier Garden will be showing two art installations as part of this overall project:Melting GalleryAn immersive sound installation by Polish artist Diana Lelonek and German sound and media artist Demin Szram.The sandstone pavilion of the Glacier Garden mutates into a place of reflection that can be experienced individually by visitors and enables an acoustic excursion to three melting glaciers in the Swiss Alps. Like a countdown, the sounds refer to irreversible and incessant processes and form a requiem for the disappearing glaciers.Concept/recording: Diana LelonekComposition: Denim SzramSolarstalgiaSolarstalgia is a fusion of the two words "solar" and "solastalgia", with the latter describing the emotional pain that people have to experience directly when their own living space is destroyed.Diana Lelonek drew her artistic inspiration for this project from the huge tarpaulins that cover the tongue of the Rhone glacier in an attempt to protect it from global warming.But it is an illusion: the melting of the glacier cannot be stopped with fabric tarpaulins. To make matters worse, they only pollute the environment even more, contaminating the glacier and thus the water in the source area of the Rhone. Using the two photographic techniques "soligraphy" and "cyanotype", the artist literally captures the movement of the sun and its radiation on the recycled fabric tarpaulins, creating an impressive installation.Idea/concept/realization: Diana LelonekNote: This text was translated by machine translation software and not by a human translator.
