The Soils Project: Diewke van den Heuvel

Diewke van den Heuvel speaks about her work Melting Heart. In this poetic ode, Diewke bears witness to the disappearing glacier. Climate change, a mostly hidden force, becomes visible as Diewke visits the Aletsch area in the Alps. The largest glacier of the Alps, melting rapidly, will vanish in 70 years.

 

You’re invited to take a closer listen to the atmospheric sounds of the melting glacier and the environment surrounding it in this field recording that accompanies the work.

 

The Soils Project closes 12 November 2023.
