EARTH’S MEMORY – Glaciers, Witnesses of the Climate Crisis

The Earth's Memory exhibition displays the overall results of the photographic-scientific project "On the trail of the glaciers", which over the past 13 years has documented the effects of climate change on the Earth's most important mountain glaciers.

The images, presented in large format and at very high print quality, have been taken during eight expeditions to glaciers in the Karakorum, Caucasus, Alaska, Andes, Himalayas and the Alps.

Thanks to a proven graphic concept and the synthesis of artistic experience and scientific research, the exhibition presents photographic comparisons with great visual impact combined with the dissemination of scientific data gathered by the researchers involved in the expeditions.

The contents are presented using the most modern techniques of interactive design and data visualisation: large screen projections, interactive video installations, immersive images and time-lapse lead the visitor into the profound and complex link between human species and nature.

Comparative images are presented side by side with landscape photographs taken by photographer Fabiano Ventura, the project's director, and backstage images recounting the team's research work. The exhibition is complemented by the projection of videos taken from the documentaries of the expeditions, collections of historical and modern photographic and mountaineering equipment, and collections of documents and maps of particular historical-scientific value.

The exhibition benefits from a scientific-educational collaboration with the European Space Agency (ESA) and has received UNESCO sponsorship for its world premiere exhibition at the Bard Fortress from June to November 2022.

The exhibition can be requested for new exhibitions and can be adapted to the needs of the client, both in terms of the number and size of the works and in terms of the way in which they are used.
