Worth another look

This afternoon I revisited an exhibition I had come across a couple of years back, which portrayed surreal and incredible interactions between humans & totemic animals: Ashes and Snow.


It's still on the go (opens in Brazil this year). To date, more than ten million people have visited Gregory Colbert's Ashes and Snow, making it the most popular exhibition by a living artist, ever.


And you can see why it captured the imagination of so many.



PS - yes, the English voice is Laurence Fishburne.

Have a great weekend :-)

'Kay i don't make films, but if I did they'd have a Samurai

Settling back in to work has proven a challenge. I mean, obviously I've achieved - and learned - certain things today:

1) Went to the gym, where daytime tv was on; Oprah was interviewing (aka gushing over) Denzel Washington and Forest Whitaker. Turns out tv makes running-time go faster...

2) Made lunch



3) Watched a beautifully animated short film of a trampolining elephant



4) And the really good news is that I now know most of the words of 'One Week' by Barenaked Ladies (you can sing along with the lyrics here or watch the video here). Hadn't heard it in years!

Now, on to my next worthy project. Dum de dum...
