As part of the International Year of Glacier Preservation, proclaimed by UNESCO for 2025, the Swiss Camera Museum in Vevey unveils a double temporary exhibition dedicated to the conservation of these ice giants. The first part presents a selection of phototypes from the museum’s rich collections, highlighting its crucial role in preserving this unique visual heritage. Displayed outdoors along the quays of Vevey, the second part features contemporary photographs of alpine glaciers covered with insulating tarps, a measure designed to slow their melting. Curated by Nathalie Dietschy (UNIL), this unprecedented body of work reveals the diversity of artistic and scientific perspectives on these changing landscapes, offering a compelling reflection on the challenges of their preservation.
