AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Matterhorn Trilogy – Polaroid on Rice Paper
This three-part work approaches the Matterhorn in a quiet, poetic way. The starting point are three original Polaroid photographs that have been covered with a transparent layer of fine rice paper. This unusual design element fundamentally changes the perception of the photographs: the motifs appear soft, diffuse, and lightly distant, as if they emerge from a memory or a dream.
The rice paper’s transparency deliberately creates a distance between the work and the viewer. The Matterhorn is not shown in razor-sharp precision, but as an atmospheric presence that leaves room for one’s own thoughts and emotions. It is precisely this restraint that gives the trilogy its special strength – it invites the viewer to linger longer and to rediscover the motif again and again.
The work comes from Zermatt-based photographer Marc Kronig, who has dedicated himself to photography with passion for more than 40 years. His particular fondness lies in Polaroid technique, whose uniqueness and immediacy have fascinated him for decades. In his works, he combines traditional photography with experimental materials and artistic interventions, giving rise to unmistakable imagery.
This trilogy is a Unique piece. It unites the authenticity of analog Polaroid photography with a sensitive, contemporary visual language and opens a new, almost meditative view of the Alps’ best-known landmark.
