Exhibition "missing glaciers - missing me"
Glaciers are archives of time. They preserve millennia of climate, movement, and memory. Yet as they disappear, it is not only ice that is lost – a part of our relationship with the landscape, with history, and with ourselves begins to fade as well.
The exhibition *missing glaciers – missing me* explores the loss of glaciers not only as an ecological issue, but also as a personal and emotional phenomenon. Situated between the observation of nature and self-reflection, it creates a space where the boundaries between the external landscape and inner perception become blurred.
At the heart of the installation lies a carpet woven from emergency blankets, kept in constant motion by fans. Its shimmering surface evokes water, ice, and reflections of light, while also referencing the white protective sheets now used in attempts to preserve sections of glaciers from melting. The emergency blanket becomes a symbol of a paradoxical condition: the human desire to preserve what is already irreversibly changing.
Foil-covered glass panels extend throughout the space. Their colors shift according to the angle of view and the incidence of light, much like the ever-changing appearances of ice, water, and atmosphere. Mirrors placed among them repeatedly confront visitors with their own reflections. In this way, the question of disappearing glaciers also becomes a question of our own position within these processes of transformation.
The paintings draw on motifs of water, clouds, and ice. Large-scale works depict fragile states between condensation and dissolution. Other pieces incorporate mirrors sprayed with glacier water. The resulting traces evoke misted or thawing surfaces, creating the impression of a moment immediately after melting—as if the absence of the ice were still visible.
*missing glaciers – missing me* understands glacier retreat not merely as an environmental problem, but as a loss of memory, orientation, and identity. The exhibition invites visitors to reflect on the connection between human existence and changing landscapes—and on what happens to us when that which once seemed permanent begins to disappear.
**Open from 27 June to 26 July 2026**
Daily, except Mondays, from 4:00 pm to 7:00 pm
Tuesday, Wednesday, and Friday also from 8:00 pm to 10:00 pm
