Ocean Letters
In the Ocean Letters, I will share the progress of the project with you – personally and informally. You will receive emails from Zurich, sometimes from Punta Arenas, sometimes from L.A. from the photo laboratory, sometimes from the darkrooms in Zurich or Berlin and, with a lot of luck, live from the ocean with greetings from whales and dolphins.

Il s’agit de notre futur, de nos petits-enfants et de leurs survies dans un monde où il ferait encore bon de vivre.
Aussi envie de soutenir des jeunes, talentueux et entreprenants, dans un projet environnemental.
Selten habe ich jemanden getroffen, die so stark in ihren Ideen und Visionen aufgeht, und ich freue mich sehr, dass sie dieses wichtige Projekt, trotz der derzeitigen herausfordernden Situation für alle Künstler*innen weltweit, mit Verve und Zuversicht gestartet hat.
Danke für Ihren inspirierenden Kommentar und Ihre Unterstützung. Es ist kaum zu fassen, dass mir auf diesem Weg jemand begegnet, der auch die Magie Pululahuas erleben durfte – ein Ort, den man nicht vergessen kann. Wir sind damals mit den trittsicheren und ausdauernden Criollos mehrstündige Trails durch den Krater geritten – auf einer Wegsäuberung verletzte ich mich fast fatal mit einer Machete, mit deren Schwung ich erst noch umgehen lernen musste, insbesondere vom Pferderücken aus. Ich werde nach Ihren Ressourcen Ausschau halten (wobei ich für die Schildkröten aus der Dunkelkammer noch einen zusätzlichen Hinweis bräuchte) – und werte Ihr Überraschungsschreiben nun als Zeichen dafür, dass das hier alles klappt! Zwar ist die Zeit knapp, aber die Kampagne gewinnt gerade wieder an Aufwind! Bis hoffentlich bald in den Ocean Letters, Akosua
Ihr Projekt weckt in mir viele Erinnerungen, als da sind die ersten Farbbilder von Galápagos-Riesenschildkröten, die ein Freund in Basel Ende der 70er Jahre aus der Dunkelkammer ans Licht brachte, urtümliche Wesen im Nebel des Vulkan Alcedo, an meinen Bruder, der aus Begeisterung für die Lebenswelt der Anden nach Ecuador ausgewandert ist, meine Reisen durch die Anden, auch zum Vulkan Pululahua, aber auch den den wunderbaren Film «El botón de nácar» des Chilenen Patricio Guzmán, der die Ausrottung der indigenen Völker in Feuerland metaphorisch ins Bild bringt, das wunderbare Buch «Begegnungen auf Feuerland» mit den Bildern der letzten Feuerländern von Martin Gusinde und nicht zuletzt das eindrückliche Projekt von Mario Pfeifer im Fotomuseum Winterthur 2015 «Approximation in the digital age to a humanity comdemned to disappear». Kurzum, Ihre Projekte überzeugen mich, lassen sie sich von den kulturhistorischen Tiefen Feuerlands inspirieren, in diesem Sinne Schiff ahoi, herzliche Grüsse eines Ornithologen aus Basel, Alex Schläpfer
Ein guter Grund ein bisschen stolz zu sein und es allen zu erzählen: Verfasse eine News, einen Post oder Tweet!
