Richard de Tscharner CH, b. 1947

For the past twenty years Richard de Tscharner has been pursuing a singular path in the fertile field of landscape photography by focusing on what the eminent historian Fernand Braudel called "la longue durée", i.e. the Earth's crust considered on the time-scale of millennia, barely tou-ched in this profound sense by the hand of Man. This quest has taken him to remote regions of the globe, to sites far removed from current civilisation.
