This exhibition is not just portraying the visible world of vertical access and helicopter rappelling operations at extreme heights. Rather, it depicts the hidden areas of extremely tall buildings, not accessible for the general public. Some of the designated areas for remote photography, where few of the photos were taken, are accessible only by a few men and the best professional rope access experts.

Special guest: His Excellency the Honorable Ahmad Zuhir Mohammad Natour
Ivan Kristoff , a Canadian artist, will present his unique images of his work at extreme heights. These photos have captured the element of danger of a series of innovative projects in Canada, USA and Bulgaria. Some of them show the first rope access work at the inaccessible areas of the tallest building in the world. They gives us a “bird’s eye view” of these operations. This perspective, gives the observer a unique view from an angle that captures a stunning picture of the vertical environment.
For the first time, Ivan will bring together this collection of aerial and remote access photography. This exhibition will showcase some of his achievements with Air Force Tactical Aviation Corps, Air Police and the Faculty of Fire Protection Engineering & Emergency Control.
This exhibition will demonstrate the technical accomplishments of men who have dedicated their life to achieve new heights in public safety and emergency response. These brave men have created new frontiers in the vertical world. Some of them have created new categories for “The Guinness Book of World Records” as part of their constant search for exploring new dimensions in emergency response and rescue.
After more than 20 years in the world of photography, an artist must go outside of his safe zone in the interest of innovation
