LIGHT BETWEEN, CUT BY LIGHT

from CHF 60.00

The rock face rises, vast and dark - and across it, light cuts. Not gently. Precisely. A diagonal stroke that reveals the mountain's texture, its folds, its ancient layering. In shadow, the wall is impenetrable. In light, it opens. This image lives in the moment between the two.

The rock face rises, vast and dark - and across it, light cuts. Not gently. Precisely. A diagonal stroke that reveals the mountain's texture, its folds, its ancient layering. In shadow, the wall is impenetrable. In light, it opens. This image lives in the moment between the two.

Shadow is not the absence of light. It is what gives light its meaning.

Light Between is a series of seven images from the Pizol in the Swiss Alps - made on a single autumn day, when the sun moved low and long across the mountains. In each image, shadow holds the greater part. And yet light finds its way through: along a ridge, across a wall of rock, into a small fold of grass, over the surface of a glacier that has held it for centuries.

These images do not show the Alps at their most dramatic. They show the Alps as they quietly are - deep, layered, patient. And in that patience, a reminder: even where shadow runs deepest, light does not disappear. It simply waits for the right angle.

Nature reminds us.
