An intriguing exhibition featuring photos/film/novel/bookart (the ‘Ashes and Snow Codex’), travelling the world with its ‘Nomadic Museum’.
The Nomadic Museum restores the possibility of wonder to museums whose excesses of clarity and light have banished the shadows. The power of the show and the power of the building are so reciprocal that it is difficult to separate the dancer from the dance. Colbert and Ban condition the senses of the visitors to facilitate their psychological entry into the space of the photographs, to deliver the message that man is not, and cannot be, separate from the nature within which he evolved.

Gregory Colbert’s photographs are the center of a huge undertaking. The site, intriguingly, doesn’t show us much of these. Still, the ambition behind the work is to create something rather wonderful. I’d go to find out about this if I could. They’re currently erecting it in Tokyo. It’d be great if it came to London.
