« Naked Glaciers » is a visual Expedition on all seven continents. Traveling through
the labyrinth of ice, inside crevasses, to catch the nature of their forms, the
frightening depth of their fissures and out of space unbelievable allure. After twenty
years of working as a Photographer, Filmmaker and Artist I developed « Humanus »,
a photo/artistic project where the subjects were naked men. The work consisted on
appreciating and discovering the diversity, the beauty and the ugliness of the human
form. Today I found myself in a place where the Glaciers take all my attention, as I
considers that their existence is
essential for our proper survival. This project is a
way of documenting disappearance of these giants made of ice and also a way to
transmit to future generations their beauty and their importance. In the wake of
current pandemic, respect of the nature is even more valuable.
