Antoine De Winter, BLINDFOLDED, 2024

BLINDFOLDED is part of a larger project on which the author has been working for several years: ‘ANTROPOCENE’.
With these images, the author tries to represent the connection between the subject (the Rhone glacier) and the
reality of the Anthropocene. The glacier, in its rawest aspect, becomes the symbol of this historical period, so
dramatic.
Silvia Lazzaris’ writing, so dense and objective, takes the viewer from simple spectator of the photographic work, to
actor of this environmental disaster.
The book’s sequence transforms the vision of beautiful, distilled photographic images towards an awareness of the
environmental disaster in this historical period.
“Each step towards the glacier reveals its further deterioration as it cowered under the weight of a hundred
sheets” (De Winter).
