Ashes and Snow

We are so fortunate to be in the International Cosmopolitan Capital of Mexico City! The incredible International Nomadic art and theatre exposition of Ashes and Snow is here from 15th December thru 27th April. In a nutshell:
A. sponsored by the Rolex Institute
B. Canadian artist, Gregory Colbert who studied in Paris and traveled around the world for the past 16 years to capture interactions between man and nature thru video and still-photography, resulting in this expo
C. all shots are natural....not digitally altered...done in black, white ...no color
D. 50 large-scale photographic artworks, 60 minute video, and 2 short film
E. 6,000 sq. metre bamboo building it is housed in: built by Columbian architect, Simón Veléz
complete with shallow water canals under the photographs and 3 theatres

It is free of charge for the people of Mexico City and tourists alike. The wait varies depending on the time of day etc. I waited about an hour in a very patient and organized line of mostly Mexican citizens. What can I say.... it was breath-taking and inspirational. The photos I included were posters being sold in a souvenir shop.
