A Photographic Resume of More than 100 Years of Water Barrier Construction.
Pioneering feats of industrialization and electrification, around 200 retaining walls, weirs, and dams in the Swiss Alps are among the most important monuments of the country’s economic success to this day. With their perfectly crafted architecture, these functional marvels emanate an almost sacral tranquility.
Photographer Simon Walther has been captivated by their magic: fascinated by the interaction between nature and technology in the harsh conditions of the alpine climate, he presents the energy and power inherent in every flood barrier in all four seasons in a surprising light. Some walls dominate the landscape with their weighty mass, while others almost seamlessly fit into it. At the same time, in his photographs each dam stands as an independent work of art in Switzerland’s untamed nature.

Зміст
Фоторепортаж про понад 100 років будівництва водних бар'єрів.
Першопрохідці індустріалізації та електрифікації, близько 200 підпірних стін, гребель і дамб у Швейцарських Альпах і сьогодні є одними з найважливіших пам'яток економічного успіху країни. Ці функціональні дива з досконало продуманою архітектурою випромінюють майже сакральний спокій.
Фотограф Саймон Вальтер був зачарований їхньою магією: зачарований взаємодією між природою і технологіями в суворих умовах альпійського клімату, він представляє енергію і силу, притаманну кожному бар'єру проти повеней у всі чотири сезони, у дивовижному світлі. Деякі стіни домінують над ландшафтом своєю ваговитою масою, а інші майже плавно вписуються в нього. Водночас, на його фотографіях кожна дамба постає як самостійний витвір мистецтва серед неприборканої природи Швейцарії.
