MELTING  LANDSCAPES

"Melting Landscapes" project shows us from a visual angle how global warming affects the cryosphere, which is the planetary thermostat that regulates the Earth's climate. An imposing universe that also conceals an acutely fragile equilibrium.

The photographs constitute a narrative series that begins with ice landscapes formed in a time immemorial, that like time capsules, walk silently towards the fading; there at the limits of the visible. An atmosphere in which the calm and tension of transformation are exchanged.
To slow global warming will require a radical transformation in the way we produce, distribute and consume energy.  A profound change in our way of thinking. 

Two degrees Centigrade. A two-degree difference with respect to the average pre-industrial temperature is what safeguards the Earth from a point of no return. We have already increased the global temperature by 1 degree.

The greatest challenge to our future is climate change, an ecological crisis based on a political crisisthat will reconfigure the destiny of human on Earth.

 

El proyecto "Melting Landscapes" muestra desde un ángulo visual cómo el calentamiento global afecta a la criosfera, el termostato planetario que regula el clima de la Tierra. Un universo imponente que también oculta un equilibrio extremadamente frágil.
Las fotografías constituyen una serie narrativa que comienza con paisajes de hielo formados en una época inmemorial, que como cápsulas del tiempo, caminan silenciosamente hacia el desvanecimiento; allí en los límites de lo visible. Un ambiente en el que se intercambian la calma y la tensión de la transformación.
Disminuir el calentamiento global requerirá una transformación radical en la forma en que producimos, distribuimos y consumimos energía. Un cambio profundo en nuestra forma de pensar.
Dos grados centígrados de aumento respecto a la temperatura preindustrial es la distancia que según la mayor parte de la comunidad científica separa la Tierra del punto de no retorno y ya hemos aumentado la temperatura global en 1 grado.

El mayor desafío para nuestro futuro es el cambio climático, una crisis ecológica basada en una crisis política, y que reconfigurará el destino de los humanos en la Tierra.
