Gregory Colbert has spent thirteen years patiently filming and photographing elephants, whales, birds, and other animals in such places as India, Burma, Ethiopia, Sri Lanka, Kenya, Namibia, Egypt, the island of Dominica, Tonga, and Antarctica. Ashes and Snow, Colbert's lifelong project, explores the nature of animals in their natural habitat as they interact with human beings. His images attempt to lift the natural and artificial barriers between humans and other species-to re-awaken in us an understanding of our shared animal nature. Ashes and Snow Book No. 6 collects images of zebras and cheetahs from the New York City (2005) exhibition. The books were printed and bound in italy; the covers are created out of handmade paper from Nepal which is sealed with natural beeswax; interior pages are printed on handmade Italian paper; each book is hand sewn and tied with thread stained with hibiscus tea leaves. 25 E bei bol.de Liebe grüsse aus Konstanz - Hellen
