Gregory Colbert
Since its debut in Venice in 2002, more than a million people have attended ”Ashes and Snow", an exhibition of more than 50 large-scale photographic artworks, a 60-minute feature film, and two 9-minute film haiku by Gregory Colbert.
The Nomadic Museum - the permanent travelling home of "Ashes and Snow" - debuted in New York in March 2005 and then travelled to Los Angeles in January 2006. "Ashes and Snow" at the Nomadic Museum will open in Odaiba and run from March 11 through June 24, 2007.
The Tokyo exhibition is in many respects a homecoming. Colbert has long worked with Japanese collaborators to create this series of work. The Nomadic Museum was designed by architect Shigeru Ban, the photographic works are printed on custom handmade washi paper, and cinematographer Koji Nakamura filmed many of the underwater scenes with elephants and whales in which Colbert appears.
"Ashes and Snow" is a work in progress. Over the past fifteen years Colbert has collaborated with more than forty species of animal around the world.
