ESTIVAGES. La Saison d’alpage en Suisse
Overview
Intro
Photographs by Romano P. Riedo
The alpine economy has had a lasting impact on the image of the Alpine cultural landscape. Today, it makes a major contribution to food production, using a third of the country's agricultural land. It also provides important services of general interest, ranging from the preservation of the landscape and biodiversity to decentralized land use. The myth of the vigorous herdsman has long obscured the essential role played by women in this form of agriculture. While the idea of a simple life in harmony with nature still evokes a certain fascination, the work is hard and difficult and could not be accomplished without the help of seasonal workers, including women. Photographer Romano Riedo has a long-standing interest in the tradition of alpine pastures. His award-winning work is regularly featured in major exhibitions. A specialist in black-and-white, he offers the Médiathèque Valais - Martigny a quintessence of his work, in a scenography specially designed for the Dans L'Objectif space. Shot all over Switzerland, his images invite us to discover a fascinating world that is, alas, increasingly endangered.> Opening on Thursday June 25 at 6:00 pm.
