The term Anthropocene is increasingly being used in a scientific context. The term refers to a new geological era that is defined by humans. This is due to the various interventions by mankind in biological, geological and atmospheric processes. As a result, the originality of nature is being called into question by humankind and increasingly influenced by its interventions.
The free work Movement in the Alpine Landscape is dedicated to an artistic examination of various processes taking place in the Alpine mountain landscape. The result is a fragmentary inventory that refers to various scientific facts. Topics such as rockfall, thawing permafrost and protective measures are processed in an artistic form of representation. In the project, our relationship to the natural environment, especially in the Swiss Alps, is boldly questioned, and we are encouraged to reflect on the complexity of the landscape that surrounds us.
