Deep within the glacier lies a time capsule – containing the imprint of a crack. As the ice melts, this capsule, or what remains of it, will resurface. This publication is its echo.
Each book becomes a capsule – asking, in its own way: What does it mean to take responsibility for a fracture? Literal or metaphorical.
Formed over five years of working with, on, and through the glacier, Owning the Fractures gathers traces of a long engagement with fragility, rupture, and time.
The book itself becomes a landscape – layered, porous, fragmented – mirroring the themes it holds.
„The art of Planetary Intimacies is dedicated to the possibilities of painterly representations of landscape. As the name suggests, the project involves imagery that has not been observed from a distance, but through direct – haptically intimate – contact with the surface of the planet.“
– Wolfgang Ullrich, Art historian and cultural scientist
Inserted fragments make each book a unique time capsule. Process and material shift slightly from book to book.
With contributions by Wolfgang Ullrich and Joshua Groß.
