Woodcuts – Interfaces of Time

Andreas Urscheler

Swiss photographer Andreas Urscheler presents Woodcuts – Interfaces of Time, an evocative exhibition exploring the layered histories embedded in the weathered timber of alpine barns and huts. Urscheler focuses his lens on the cross-sections of ancient wooden beams—each image capturing the unique growth rings and textures that bear witness to decades, even centuries, of human habitation and natural forces.

Through meticulous photographic technique and a deep connection to the remote landscapes of the Swiss Alps, Urscheler transforms these wooden surfaces into visual meditations on the passage of time. The “woodcuts” are not simply records of material decay; they become poetic interfaces where the cycles of life, memory, and settlement history converge. Each photograph resonates with themes of endurance, transformation, and the quiet dignity of age, inviting viewers to reflect on the traces left by time and the stories etched into the very fabric of these structures.

Urscheler’s work is not only a tribute to architectural heritage but also an invitation to recognise beauty in decay and transience. In a fast-paced world, the photographs encourage viewers to pause and consider the slow accumulation of time.

Woodcuts – Interfaces of Time offers a contemplative journey into the intersection of nature, culture, and the inexorable flow of years.
