‘LENA C. EMERY: The Mountains Between Us’ opens at FRIEZE 25th of April
The exhibtion is held in support of ClientEarth and sponsored by Tekla.
Weaving together photography, video and sculptural objects, Lena C. Emery highlights the accelerated loss of mountain glaciers and the desperate conservation efforts currently employed to impede their decline. Under the continued influence of greenhouse-gas forced global warming, ice that took centuries to develop is vanishing in just a number of years. A fate experts predict for at least two-thirds of all glaciers by the end of this century.
The Mountains Between Us surveys nature’s vulnerability and human intervention as poignant metaphor, not only of preservation but of a broader dialogue on humanity’s relationship with the natural world.
As one of the world’s most ambitious environmental organisations, ClientEarth is actively tackling the climate and environmental crisis by holding the world’s biggest polluters to account for their impact on our planet. Through legal interventions, strategic communications, and advocacy, ClientEarth works in partnership across borders, systems, and sectors to find positive and practical solutions to address climate change, protect biodiversity, stop pollution, and fight for environmental justice.
