Con Amore e Rabbia
In his fight against the destruction of the Alpine landscape, the Grisons anarchist Marco Camenisch (*1952) looks back on a 26-year prison sentence (including for bomb attacks, escape from prison and murder). Between admiration for the lifelong resistance and alienation towards the militant radicalism, the author searches for the human behind the big word «eco-terrorist». In the need to position herself in relation to Camenisch, she finds herself in a dilemma. In Con Amore e Rabbia, the artist shares her struggles, her sympathy and her rejection and asks, by using archive and research material as well as her own photographs and texts, not only how far the fight for nature can go, but also what it means to take a position in a world that only knows right or wrong.
When Stones Flow
The understanding of and approach to the alpine landscape and its natural dangers have changed fundamentally. In this project the artists Julian Rupp, Barbara Truog and Julian Walss trace different narratives, perspectives, and insights, blending past events with contemporary developments and retelling them as transmedia stories. In doing so, they question today’s narrative of the technological conquest of nature, particularly with regard to the predicted changes in the landscape due to climate change. When Stones Flow interweaves photographs, videos, staged rituals, and artistically appropriated research material in a multi-layered way, reflecting the collective knowledge of how to deal with natural dangers in the Alps. The project began as part of the HSLU Camera Arts program and was later further developed privately.
Barbara Truog (*1997 in Schönenberg ZH) is a visual artist and photographer based in Chur. She received her Bachelor’s degree in Camera Arts from the Lucerne University of Applied Arts & Sciences in 2024. Drawing inspiration from her alpine surroundings, Truog’s artistic practice focuses on nature and humans and their coexistence. Her works question the value of nature and landscapes, inviting reflection on natural dangers and environmental changes. She deals with themes such as sustainable energies, environmental protection, activism, identity and protest ethics. Her work is characterizsed by a multidisciplinary approach, using images, videos, texts, archive and research material to create compelling narratives that engage with pressing ecological issues.
