Skyway Monte Bianco

At 3,466 meters above sea level, Punta Helbronner emerges from the Italian Alps like a crystalline outpost, a feat of contemporary engineering suspended in one of Europe’s most unforgiving mountain landscapes. This series documents the station and cable car system across alpine golden hour, blue hour, and deep night, using aerial light to reframe the structure as something both alien and inextricably connected to its surroundings.

Working at this high altitude meant navigating sub-zero temperatures, limited weather windows, and hauling equipment across snow and ice. Images span multiple exposures over hours, aligning celestial events with the rhythm of natural light as they transform both the architecture and the ancient terrain.

The work shifts between scales: human figures dwarfed by peaks, orbital light paths around cable cars, vertical beams carved through crevasses. These interventions are studies in how light can alter our reading of place. The station becomes a bridge between the human and the elemental.

This series is a meditation on altitude, ambition, and how we navigate landscapes that resist us, to find meaning in the vertical, and resonance in the void.
