Breiding Ohan: The belly of a glacierMassachusetts are frozen in times of the film and experimental film and photo installation of the film Mass Mass Museum (Mass Mass Moca). In collaboration with Williams College of Art (WCMA), the exhibition (until December 14) is an intimate portrait of the Swiss Glaci, 2050 announcing scientists. By the yearEarly melts as a result of climate change. The show highlights the state of climate emergency with a special look of this ancient glacier, its surface on its surface is rarely seen in his surface belly.
Dating at least 11,700bc, approximately five miles long Rhône is located in the southern Alps of Swiss Alps, near the Italian border of Valais. It is the fifth fifth largest glacier in Switzerland, and the water of the glacial rhône is nourished by the Rhône River, which flows near the Mediterranean Sea near Marseille. High glacier of 12,000ft It has lost approximately the thickness each year only in the last decade.
In the greater scheme of things, the climate action follower Research shows that all countries involved in the Paris agreement reached its climate goals, the average global temperatures would be well at the end of the century (1.5 degrees Celsius). “None of us prepared this specific moment in these disasters around the world,” says Lisa Dorin, Deputy Director of WCMA and Commissioner partners.
Breathing, American Swiss artist, is also a teacher of Williams College. They use a transministrical lens for ecological attention. Half-hour experimental films and more than 100 photos give the audience poetic view of the glacier as a dying patient in its decline, revealing memories that are made within its ice.
“Putting all these images together, we are all able to see something that feels pretty monumental,” Breeding says, but I hope, very intimate at the same time. “

With the greatness of the Swiss Alps, movies, film The belly of a glacier (2024) At Obergoms, he captures the efforts of Swiss residents, the surrounding rhodano glacier with thermal sheets, trying to raise temperatures. (Although this practice has not been abandoned the fate of the glacier, it has very little narrative in the film. Broding is watching the glacier and sounds with the sound, the audience hears the melting of ice.
“As an artist, my intention was to slow down time,” Breeding says. The film will then lead us to the surface of the glacial abdomen and a melting section. “As the interior of our body, you see the interior of a glacial body that is slowly falling,” they say.
In this artistic narrative, Breeding mixes the ancient ice archive to change their childhood home forever. They love memories of growing in a small town in Switzerland, traveling to the surrounding rhodano glacier “play and adventure”. “Actually, we would slip on this river ice,” says Breiding, his personal memories are part of the film.
In addition to large-scale photo installation, nine is a series of smaller macroscopic images, thin thin ice that comes out through a petrographic lens. “They start to see like a glass window or abstraction,” says Breeding. The artist hopes that visitors think that time is fragile, love and losses are deeply linked, that we are much bigger. “
In 2019 Iceland built the first memorial To a dead glacier: Okjökull glacial. Since then, the funeral funeral has been made around the world to melt glaciers. Breainding’s film ends in the future, 2050. Year, like a speculative glacial funeral, “as at the end of a sentence,”
