In her exhibition, internationally renowned photographic artist Mariana Cook powerfully yet poetically places glacial erratics at the center—mighty, timeless stones carried across continents by glaciers over millennia. Cook follows these silent witnesses of history, which unite past, present, and future, transforming them into striking visual narratives. Cook is widely known for her intimate portraits of influential figures from politics, art, and literature, including Jorge Luis Borges, Sonia Rykiel, and Michelle and Barack Obama. In this exhibition, she shifts her focus from the human subject to the landscape, opening a contemplative dialogue on time, memory, and presence. Alongside photographic works, the exhibition features a film offering deeper insight into Cook’s artistic process and working methods.
In conversation with moderator Rabea Schif, Mariana Cook will share insights into her artistic practice and the stories behind her photographs. Discover how encounters become photographs and what draws her to the people and the objects she portrays. The Artist Talk will be held in English. Reserve your seat at info@kbhg.ch.
