But what pulls him is not the naturalistic reproduction of a landscape. Shouldering his large-format camera, he invests heavily in his works, the result of lonely marches across empty landscapes. In all weather, in complete silence and isolation he communes with what he sees, tenaciously struggling to achieve his vision. The Swiss Engadine and the Bolivian Altiplano, Chile’s Atacama desert, the Far North with its fjords and polar seas, the world’s oceans, the sun and the stars provide his scenery and backdrops. The title of Baselgia’s show – AlpenFalten (Alpine Folds) – refers to the glaciation, the creation of the Alps and their slow disappearance. This time, he has taken to the air to create works combining proximity and distance, and rendering palpable the flow of time, a philosophical dimension that is always present in Baselgia’s work.
