Panorama is born with a very specific mission: to help create and reinforce a global consciousness regarding the different challenges we as a society face in terms of landscape and territory.

For that reason, we’ve decided to create this platform to join together artistic projects with didactic content to attempt to reach, in the easiest and most comprehensive way, this reflexion to a large part of the society.

We believe that artistic projects accompanied by specialized texts are the best tool for any person, even those who haven’t  shown interest in this subjects before, to understand how as a society we need to reflect on our relationship with landscape and territory.

With this idea Panorama aims to become a big archive where anyone can meet and consult the different authors regarding this matters. And what’s also important, to contemplate them from different points of view.

Panorama nace con una misión muy concreta: ayudar a crear/reforzar una conciencia global sobre los distintos retos que tenemos como sociedad en relación al territorio y al paisaje.

Para ello, hemos decidido crear esta plataforma que aglutina proyectos artísticos con contenidos didácticos para intentar hacer llegar, de la manera más fácil y entendedora posible, esta reflexión a un amplio conjunto de la sociedad.

Creemos que los proyectos artísticos acompañados de textos especializados son la mejor herramienta para que cualquier persona, aunque nunca antes se haya interesado por estos temas, pueda comprender que como sociedad tenemos que hacer una reflexión sobre nuestra relación con el territorio y el paisaje.

Panorama pretende con esta idea convertirse en un gran archivo donde cualquiera pueda conocer y consultar los distintos autores que trabajan en torno a estas cuestiones. Y lo que también es muy importante, contemplarlas desde distintos puntos de vista.

Panorama neix amb un objectiu molt concret: ajudar a crear/reforçar una consciència global sobre els diferents reptes que tenim com a societat en relació al territori i al paisatge.

Per això, hem decidit aquesta plataforma que aglutina projectes artístics amb continguts didàctics per intentar fer arribar, de la manera més fàcil y comprensible possible, aquesta reflexió a un ampli conjunt de la societat.

Creiem que els projectes artístics acompanyats de textos especialitzats son la millor eina per a que qualsevol persona, tot i que no s’hagi interessat mai abans per aquests temes, pugui comprendre que com a societat hem de fer una reflexió sobre la nostre relació amb el territori i el paisatge.

Panorama pretén amb aquesta idea convertir-se en un gran arxiu on qualsevol pugui conèixer i consultar els diversos autors que treballen a l’entorn d’aquestes qüestions. I el que també és molt important, contemplar-les des de diferents punts de vista.

“Berge bleichen” / “Mountains Bleach”  2016-2020, all images are taken in the Val Lumnezia, Grisons,  Switzerland

“It’s about the idea of escaping from density and saturation in order to feel time and slowness again”

“Mountains Bleach” takes place in the small valley “Val Lumnezia” in the Swiss Graubünden. 

A valley with one entrance and no exit, with one road and no tunnel to the next area.

This creates calm, a pale island in a saturated country like Switzerland. Things are left standing, time can pass, clocks run behind. Nobody cares. 

The light of the sun is strongand proudly shows its traces. It peels colour, bleaches nature and man-made things in it. 

Mountains are serious and often scary. They talk about life and death, about permanence and transience. They don’t easily reveal history and secrets.

The series shows the previously described, different picture of the mountains. The opposite of the romantic picture that everyone knows. Apart from tourism and pure infrastructure, places in the valley have been sought that are simply allowed to be. Without claims to meaning and purpose for the masses.

The pure undemanding itself – at first glance. Because they need great attention to the apparently invisible. Things that seem trivial to us at first and only reveal something deeper, if we look closely and intensively. These objects and landscapes make us reflect on the transient nature of things and lets us appreciate the beauty of decay again.

Sandro Livio Straube was born in Zurich in 1992 and is a Swiss photographer and architect.
After completing his studies and various jobs in studios, he decided to escape the density of the city and returned to Val Lumnezia. There he worked on his 4-year project “Bleaching Mountains”.
He mainly works with medium and large format cameras and, in addition to his own artistic projects, also takes photos for commissions.
His work “Mountains Bleach” was shown for the first time this year as a solo exhibition at Galerie 94 in Baden. This was followed by group exhibitions at Photo Basel 2020, Virtual Connect L.A. and Photo Basel/ Berlin and the work was published on many different platforms.
He is officially represented by Sascha Laue and his gallery 94.
He works and lives in Wädenswil and Vella, Switzerland.
