Photos of the disappearance of the Dachstein glacier have been circulating in the media for years. The photo artist Georg Oberweger from Salzburg wanted to immortalize the melting ice in a different way. He invited people between the ages of five and 80 to have his portrait taken on the glacier. The result is sensitive, melancholic images of transience, in which the vulnerability of people and ice is made just as visible as their transience. “I would like to use my photographs to encourage people to perceive the glacier from a new perspective and to see it with different eyes,” says Oberweger.
The “Glacier Portraits” campaign, organized by Bad Ausseer cultural manager Hans Fuchs, was presented in Brussels last few days at the invitation of EU MP Hannes Heide (SPÖ). The photographs can now be seen for a while in the Spinelli building, the heart of the EU Parliament. Schoolchildren from the BG/BRG Bad Ischl also traveled to the EU capital for the opening of the exhibition.
