This. man. is. incredible. He has created a most beautiful art project / cultural observation.
It's called Ashes and Snow.
It's a project that "weaves together photographic works, 35mm films, art installations, and a novel in letters". None of these photos have been altered or photoshopped post-process. Keep that in mind as you browse.
"In exploring the shared language and poetic sensibilities of all animals, I am working towards rediscovering the common ground that once existed when people lived in harmony with animals. The images depict a world that is without beginning or end, here or there, past or present.”
Impeccable, haunting, mysterious, epic. The exhibit debuted in Venice in 2002, toured through New York, Santa Monica, Tokyo, and was last seen in Mexico City in 2008. No news of where its headed next.
If anyone feels the need to fill their selfless deed quota...send the dvd my way, please. Or better yet, a confirmed ticket to the exhibit's next locale.
You are a person of great depth. I always have had a deep connection with people who are so thoughtful and in touch with their spiritual sides. These images, and your sensibility to what they are 'saying', has placed me in a different state of mind.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the kind words, Nick! If you find these images evocative, imagine the 60 minute film he created as well. It was available on Youtube for a short time and I was able to watch bits and pieces. An underwater "dance" nearly brought me to tears. Beautiful.
