Ashes and Snow, the child of Gregory Colbert is one of the most inspiring and beautiful art/photography/video projects ever envisaged. A "real" physical art project accompanied by an incredibly well designed website, Ashes and Snow maintains an unrivalled consistency across all media.
http://www.ashesandsnow.org/
The website is either viewable as a fully conceived Flash experience or in a basic, and lower bandwidth hungry, form.
Canadian born, Gregory Colbert, began the project in 1992 to explore the relationship between animals and man. After 10 years he launched a show/exhibition for the project in Venice, Italy, the biggest ever seen in that country. Since then, it has moved to different venues around the world and has been seen by 1.5 million people. It is moving to Mexico City in 2008.
The project continues to develop with Gregory making expeditions to new locations and creating more art.
Additionally, each venue for the show has an Education programme, and the from the website one can purchase books, dvds, cds of the soundtrack, posters etc.
The website is definitely worth a visit, and the art is almost indescribably beautiful.
