Global Warming - Limited Edition 1 of 5 Photograph

Average global temperatures have risen by approximately 0.6-0.7°C since the second half of the 19th century and atmospheric warming has been accelerating rapidly. This is the Global Warming phenomenon, one of the phenomena most closely studied and analysed by the scientific community, without it being fully understood even today. The only certainty is that the planet is effectively warming up at a pace that is profoundly changing general atmospheric circulation and therefore the climate of all of the continents. Among the consequences of this phenomenon, the mountain snowfields are melting and the Arctic polar icecap is retreating from the continental coasts of North America and Asia. With a climate that is gradually warming, more ice is melting in the summer than is accumulating in the cold seasons, and the oceans are filling with sea ice but also ice floes coming directly from the continental surfaces. These topics was debated on November 30th in Paris at the 21st COP 21 Climate Change Conference, with the aim of reaching a universally binding agreement, for the first time in twenty years, on climate, which is more solid and broad-reaching than the Kyoto Protocol, never ratified by the United States. This international event is creating worldwide waves with the aim of influencing politicians towards a global agreement that might protect our planet. I displayed the death throes of the glaciers with photographic project, GLOBAL WARMING 34º 00' S 64º 00' W and GLOBAL WARMING 65° 00' N 18° 00' W, which combines two series of photographs taken in Argentina and Iceland. The majesty and fragility of the glaciers that melt and fall down into the sea occupies the entire field of vision, in cold, starkly contrasting images where the pure white of the ice intersects the darkness of the sky, in parabolic concavities and spherical convexities that arouse subtle metaphysical apprehension.
