In 2009, Daniel Schwartz began a photographic art project documenting the
\ndisappearance of glaciers around the world, intending it as a catalyst for
\nreflections on climate history and the relationship between glacial cycles and
\nhuman lifespan, on natural ecology and human \u2018progress\u2019.<\/p>\n
The project\u2019s geographical field of interest extends from today\u2019s Alpine
\ncryosphere to areas of prehistoric glaciation in what is now the great plain
\nof Switzerland, to as far afield as Pakistan (Karakoram range), Uganda
\n(Rwenzori range) and Peru (Cordillera Blanca), all of which demonstrate
\ndramatically shrinking glaciers at differing stages. The photographer has
\ntravelled widely over many years, creating unique new views of rarely
\nphotographed equatorial African glaciers.<\/p>\n
Combining spectacular close aerial photography with archive documents,
\nSchwartz links visual art and the natural sciences, continuing an
\ninterdisciplinary tradition with roots in early 18th-century Switzerland, the
\nbirthplace of glaciology. These beautiful photographs, shot in exceptional and
\narresting detail, define new ways to examine glaciers as a functional archive
\nof human presence, and to consider human intervention in natural history.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
