Whitening Heights: Sandro Livio Straube - diskuze

Whitening Heights is both photography and a way of life at once. Inspired by the Alpine sun that seems to drain everything of colour, Sandro Livio Straube has been creating an ongoing series of images since 2015 that express a sense of deceleration and desaturation. Through this exercise in observation, looking at the world through the camera lens, he explores themes of transience, the vulnerability of all living beings, and the fragility of the environment created by humankind. The black-and-white and colour photographs taken in the Alpine valley of Lumnezia bear witness to a fulfilled presence that reveals things in all their inherent beauty. The three accompanying texts shed light on various aspects of this photographic work, with passages in Rheto-Romanic and Swiss German that also convey something of the attitude to life in this valley of light. Text in German, English, Rheto-Romanic and Swiss German.
