Stephan Siegrist balances between shadow and sunshine

2016 Oct

Last weekend the village’s inhabitants and visitors will have a chance to witness a magical natural phenomenon (that occurs just twice a year) when the sunlight suddenly shines through the “Martinsloch”, a triangular window in the rock face, casting a beam of light over the lanes and rooftops of the village of Elm in the Swiss canton of Glarus.

The Mammut Pro Team athlete Stephan Siegrist chose to portray this interaction between shadow and sunshine symbolically on the highline. Resulting in impressive photos depicting dreamlike images.
