This box set contains three audio-visual albums, each with an LP and photobook: ‘Melting Landscapes’, ‘Dammed Landscapes’, and ‘Buried Landscapes’. Together they trace the dramatic metamorphosis of water. Ranging from the receding tongue of the Morteratsch Glacier in the Engadin valley region of the eastern Swiss Alps to the guzzling hydroelectric turbines of the Punt dal Gall Dam and the disgorging reservoir chambers of Zurich, the images and sounds combine to paint a panorama of a fading epoch when water was still treated as a naturally inexhaustible resource. Produced in the Media Lab at the Institute of Landscape and Urban Studies at ETH Zurich.
