Scott Conarroe’s large format photos evoke romantic pictorial traditions while placing the landscape into a contemporary context. Conarroe studies the boundaries devised by Alpine nations, which are moving as a result of the rapid glacial melting caused by climate change. As the glaciers retreat, the terrain itself shifts, resulting in a new topography. The countries’ glacial boundaries are changing, and each border will have to eventually be redrawn, leaving a question of territorial claim and possible geopolitical consequences.
