Naked Glaciers
A photographic and cinematic expedition documenting disappearing glaciers across seven continents. Currently documenting glaciers in France, Switzerland and Italy. Next expedition: Kilimanjaro, home to Africa’s last remaining glaciers.
These photographs and films seek to capture the essence of glaciers—their immense power and their growing fragility. They reveal the dramatic depth of newly formed crevasses, sculpted surfaces that resemble frozen clouds, and landscapes suspended between permanence and disappearance.
Entering these kingdoms of ice is both awe-inspiring and humbling. Navigating their labyrinth of fissures and hidden fractures means confronting the raw forces of nature from every possible angle. Beauty and danger coexist in these rapidly changing environments.
Through photography and cinematography, I document glaciers from the ground and from the air, creating immersive visual narratives that reveal both their grandeur and their vulnerability. These images and films preserve fleeting moments in landscapes that are changing before our eyes.
This visual journey will culminate in a photographic exhibition, a fine art book, a feature documentary film, and a long-term multimedia archive. Together, these works aim to document, preserve, and celebrate the extraordinary presence of glaciers while bearing witness to their accelerated decline.
One of the most striking examples of this transformation is The Trauma, an artwork inspired by the collapse of a remarkable green ice cave in the French Alps during the summer of 2022. The disappearance of this natural formation became a powerful symbol of the environmental changes affecting mountain ecosystems worldwide.
Through this project, I hope to give present and future generations the opportunity to experience the beauty of glaciers and understand their vital role on Earth before they disappear.
These multimedia archives—combining photography, film, sound, and storytelling—are intended to serve as educational, cultural, and social resources, enabling audiences of all ages and backgrounds to better understand glaciers, their importance, and the impact of climate change. They also encourage reflection on the actions, large and small, that each of us can take to help protect our environment.
This portfolio presents work created in France, Switzerland, and Italy, marking the beginning of the Naked Glaciers expedition—a long-term photographic and documentary journey across all seven continents.
