Olaf Otto Becker生于1959年的德国特拉沃明德。这些作品来自于他最新的“零度以上”系列。
格陵兰岛上有着面积仅次于南极洲的内陆冰川。这些壮丽的景观是Becker冒着生命的危险,挑战着体能的极限,扛着他那笨重的大画幅相机在正在消融的冰川间拍摄下来的。这些摄影作品描绘了无与伦比的冰川之美,同时也记录下了它的脆弱——受到全球变暖的影响,空气中的烟尘已经侵入这里,冰床开始加速融化,最终的悲剧几乎无法避免。Becker向世界发出警告,即便在这些无人区,人类的行为也已经产生了致命的后果。
Olaf Otto Becker was born in 1959 in Travemünde, Germany. The works are from his new series Above Zero.
Second only to Antarctica, Greenland has the largest inland ice surfaces in the world. Becker’s spectacular portraits of this region are taken during physically strenuous, sometimes life-threatening treks among glacial crevasses and melting ice floes, with a cumbersome large-format camera. His photo studies draw out the overwhelming beauty of this icy landscape, while documenting their present fragility: dust and rust in the air form black, crusty deposits, which, in conjunction with global warming, accelerate the melting of the ice sheets–with what will probably be inevitable, catastrophic results. Becker warns that even in these uninhabited regions, human actions can have fatal consequences.
