Séverin Guelpa is an artist, explorer and curator. His work is based on his experience of the extreme territories he occupies and the expeditions he leads, in deserts or on glaciers. By confronting their hostile climatic conditions or drawing inspiration from the communities that live there, he explores our capacity to adapt and our strength of resilience. For him, the physical experience of these places is a way of grasping today‘s ecological challenges and the radical changes facing our societies.
