At summit Lyskamm , the fate of the world is at stake. Uncertainty of time and chaos of nature. I present here an exceptional work of art. In this black-and-white photograph, Lyskamm rises imposingly out of the Valais Alps. An impassable wall, its northern face rises up before our eyes. I was lucky enough to climb its 800-meter vertical drop in the summer of 2023. An unforgettable experience. At the foot of the mountain, its gigantic glaciers show First snows the scars of a scorching summer. Grenzgletscher and Monte Rosa Gletscher have always fascinated me. Their sheer size and incredible beauty.

I took this magnificent photograph of Lyskamm in the early autumn of 2022. After a particularly dry summer, its glaciers opened up at unprecedented altitudes. Giving the Alps a new landscape. Where the ice had been intact, huge crevasses appeared, revealing unsuspected abysses in the mountainsides. Scars of a giant in the grip of warming weather. The paradox of a jewel of nature that draws its beauty from its worst sufferings. And which, with one last breath, urges the world not to forget it. That's why I photograph Lyskamm and its hanging glaciers. To bear witness to their omnipotence and fragility. Their eternal splendour and ephemeral purity.

Shortly after the storm, the still-laden sky endows the picture with a fabulous dramatic intensity. The light caresses the glaciers, revealing their voluptuous relief. With its cracked shell and gaping cracks, the bleached mountain invites us on a journey to the heart of abstraction. Discover sumptuous textures and bewitching lines. From the apocalypse of the heights comes the most masterful of spectacles.
