Ashes and Snow by Canadian artist Gregory Colbert is
an installation of photographic artworks, films, and a novel in
letters. The work explores the shared poetic sensibilities of human
beings and animals.
Ashes and Snow has traveled to Venice, New York, Santa Monica, Tokyo, and Mexico City. To date, Ashes and Snow has
attracted more than 10 million visitors, making it the most attended
exhibition by a living artist in history. Each exhibition consists of
more than fifty large-scale mixed media photographic artworks and three
film installations.
The photographic artworks measure approximately 3.5 by 2.5 meters
(11.5 x 8.25 feet). Each one is created using an encaustic process on
handmade Japanese paper. The films include one 60-minute full-length
35mm film and two short “haiku” films. None of the photographic or film images have been digitally collaged or superimposed.
