Sicherheit123

Safety123

The Alps. We have long conquered the lofty peaks and developed even the high mountain ranges as recreational landscapes. The whole region is covered by a nearly invisible safety system. Well-camouflaged protective precautions against falling rocks and avalanches are there to ensure accessibility and habitability without fear. @Safety123@ captures these constructions in breathtaking images, and follows the sometimes mysterious-looking activities and preparations to portray the human struggle against the forces of nature which are unstoppable despite precision technology. (Annina Wettstein, DOK Leipzig)
