Bodmi

The Bodmi Series captures skiers on the slopes of Grindelwald, where faces are predominantly concealed. This portrait experiment directs viewers’ attention solely to attire and ski equipment, unveiling the life stories of the subjects through these elements. By employing a form of photographic topography, this series seeks to map out the intricate terrain of skiing culture, illustrating how clothing choices serve as markers of individuals’ social backgrounds and lifestyles. The contrasting color palettes and clothing styles between laid-back snowboarders and the more disciplined or purist skiers offer tangible examples of these cultural distinctions. Through this exploration, viewers are invited to reflect on the diverse cultural landscape of Grindelwald’s skiing community.
