Ohan Breiding: Belly of a Glacier

Arts and Culture, Exhibits

,

February 1 | 10:00 am - 5:00 pm  

Co-organized with the Williams College Museum of Art, Ohan Breiding’s Belly of a Glacier features an experimental documentary film and a photographic installation that connect this act of mourning to ongoing practices of care that strive to preserve ice — a material that contains both remnants of the past and the conditions of a future world. Breiding captures the efforts of the residents of Obergoms, Switzerland, to drape the nearby Rhône Glacier with thermal blankets to insulate it from rising temperatures. Despite these hope-filled actions of ecological care, scientists predict the Rhône will have fully melted by 2050.

Belly of a Glacier reacts to global warming and melting glaciers
