OPEN ECO: Nina Maria Allmoslechner, Gletscherwasser, 2025 from the series When White Blankets (2026)

When White Blankets started five years ago, when I saw a photograph of my father and my grandfather standing in front of the glacier, white blankets in the background and then my father’s voice in my ear ‘I can not believe how much these glaciers have changed already, I am sure they will soon disappear’.

On International Day of Glaciers, I launched my photography book When White Blankets, a story told across three generations, reflecting on memory, loss and our changing relationship with our natural world. My short film, based on my grandfather’s Super 8 archive, will be released soon.
