Exhibition information
The SMArt programme aims to raise awareness of the particular challenges faced by mountain regions worldwide through exhibitions by international photographers. The programme focuses in particular on the topics of climate change, water reserves, biodiversity and food security, as well as migration.
The Peruvian photographer Alejandra Orosco (*1988) devoted herself to the effects of climate change on nature during her three-month stay in Bellwald (canton of Valais) and compares them to stress symptoms in humans. In microscopic photographs, portraits and landscape pictures, she seeks analogies between human and plant organisms and looks for signs of how they react to changes in their environment.
