Description

Since 2011, Verbier 3-D Foundation has explored art, the environment, and sustainability issues. For its 15th anniversary, Where The Water Begins celebrates this commitment and confronts the fragility of the future.
Since its founding in 2011, Verbier 3-D Foundation has focused on the ways art can interact with the natural environment and highlight issues of sustainability. For its fifteenth anniversary, the exhibition Where The Water Begins emerges to simultaneously celebrate this commitment and confront the fragile future that lies ahead. Developed in collaboration with Protect Our Winters (POW), this exhibit aims to highlight our shared responsibility to the mountains and their essential resources, which support every aspect of Verbier's cultural, social, and economic life. Bringing together artists working across photography, sculpture, sound, poetry, and environmental art, these works translate data into emotion and science into a story. This experience is deepened by Philip Samartzis's soundscape, enveloping the visitor in the hidden frequencies and shifting atmospheres of a landscape under pressure. Artistic practice becomes a form of agency here, a refusal of distance. Water is the thread that runs through everything: the source of life, the measure of time, and in the alpine context, the most urgent indicator of a climate in crisis.
