The Zinalrothorn
The Granite Flame
About the work
This black-and-white work guides our gaze from shadow to light to its summit. Just as the high mountains inspire us to conquer them, photography opens the way to a sublime world. A world where anything is possible. Where dreams take shape, where adventure is beautiful. Along the Rothorngrat, we soar, cross the normal route and finally reach the summit of the giant. Stunning verticality. A bold silhouette. The Zinalrothorn reveals the scars of a tormented history. A reminiscence of the mists of time.
In this world of rock and ice, life has no place. Occasionally, of course, man makes his way up the mountainside. But they are few and far between, and only passing through. Nature, on the other hand, remains elusive. Overwhelming and absolute. Life is born from the wind and the clouds in the sky. These impetuous winds that make our souls vibrate. I love the mountains when they shake up our desires, our hopes and our doubts. I love the mountain when it urges us to surpass ourselves. On the back of a titan, caressing the sky: the dream is infinite and the journey unforgettable.
