About The Artwork
This photo is part of my series INTO THE LIGHT. The picture was taken in February 2017 on the "Salar de Uyuni" in Bolivia. With more than 10,000 square kilometres, the "Salar de Uyuni" is the largest salt pan in the world. It is located at an altitude of around 4,000 metres, making it the highest salt desert on the planet. The snow-white salt crust was formed over 10,000 years ago by the drying up of the Tauca paleo lake. The brine beneath the crust reaches up to 121 metres in depth. With glaring brightness during the day and very cold nights, the Salar resembles a frozen lake on the outside. It is virtually devoid of any living creatures but is a breeding ground for some species of flamingo found only in South America. From April to early December, the Salar is dry. Except for the muddy shore zones and individual water eyes, the up to 30-metre-thick salt crust can then even be driven over by buses and trucks. The photo was taken during the rainy season, which begins in December. Then the Salar can be covered with several centimetres of water. The still water then forms a huge mirror and creates a surreal space. Standing in the middle of the salt desert, you lose all sense of time & space. Unfortunately, the largest lithium deposit in the world has been found under the Salar. Mining will change this unique paradise forever, so that the "Salar de Uyuni" may no longer exist in this form and untouched beauty in just a few years. You are welcome to get in touch with me if you have any questions.
