Photogram,
2019,
127 x 82 cm, Edition : 1/1

It is like an inventory whose purpose is to list the different types of ice, “X-rays” using photograms of glacier pieces. (The photogram is a photographic process without camera, invented in the 19th century). The most exposed parts react and stain, the result looks like an X-ray of the object.

“The ice finally prints like a precious diamond, a crystal on paper”. The “MELTING DIAMONDS series, Field Studies”, highlights the fragility of glaciers, the last traces before the disappearance of these precious crystals, reserves of fresh water essential for life. So that we can keep tracks of these glaciers doomed to disappear over the next few years.
