Ashes & Snow



Gregory Colbert.
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.

I'm falling in love with this "Future Shorts" series. In this dance-for-camera, I find the mask unnecessary. I love, however, the simplicity of the large room, minimal clothing and movement, the four men, and her.
