Who has not longed to experience the vastness of isolated glacier landscapes? How fascinating is it to see the meticulous structure of a snow crystal in microscopic detail? How do people survive in icy worlds and which cultures have developed there over the course of thousands of years? What was the nature of the Taunus Mountains during the last glacial maximum around 20,000 years ago? How can we imagine the local flora and fauna in a future of geological time? Or the roaring energy of a calving glacier, documented and visualized using the technology of a thermal imaging camera or with the help of large-format photography? And how can we protect the “eternal ice” in the face of global warming? The exhibition “Eternal Ice” invites visitors to explore the cold zones of the earth with their unique landscapes and habitats as well as various forms of ice and snow. 17 artistic positions illustrate how close the overwhelming beauty and fragility of the dwindling ice masses are to one another. Artists from all over the world provide deeply moving insights into the icy regions of the earth that are worth protecting and illustrate the profound interrelationships between humans and nature.
