The Arts
Description
Fifteen years ago Viola Käumlen entered into the
extensive cave system of the Morteratsch Glacier. The encounter with a completely unknown world inspired the author to write a series of minimalist and haunting poems.
Today the extensive caves don't exist anymore, the glacier melted and retracted for many kilometers.
Together with the pictures that the author took back then, an elegy for a dying glacier was created - an encounter with finitude and a call not to let climate change happen without a fight.

Author Biography
It was only a small step from studying law to photography. Many years of living in India and the USA have shaped the artistic development of Viola Käumlen just as much as numerous trips to China, Cuba, Chile and Oman. Again and again it is the people who fascinate her most. Her portraits reflect curiosity about the causes as well as the effects of action in our world. Nature as a place of power is an essential element in all of her work. She uses photography as a basis, and writing as an important medium for making topics visible. Artist books are her passion: from layout on the computer to printing on special papers, fabrics or metals to binding the books - everything is meticulously handcrafted in our own studio. This is how small editions such as “Red Cross”, “HIV - The long road towards a vaccine”, “Firewalk” and “Dear Bee”. Viola Käumlen lives in Engadin and Basel.
