The first exhibition of Gregory Colbert, "Timewaves", opened in 1992 the Elysée Museum of Photography, Switzerland, with great critical acclaim.

Instead, he traveled to places like India, Burma, Sri Lanka, Egypt, Dominica, Ethiopia, Kenya, Tonga, Namibia and Antarctica to film and photograph scenes of interaction between humans and animals.
Species like the elephant, the whale, the manatee, the sacred ibis, Antigone, the heron, the golden eagle, the hawk-gyrfalcon, the rhinoceros hornbill, cheetah, leopard, African hunting dog , the caracal, baboon, antelope, meerkats, gibbons, orangutans and the crocodile-of-water-salt are among the animals who filmed and photographed. The human subjects on which they addressed include the monks of Burma, the trance dancers (dancers of ecstasy), the San people and other indigenous tribes from across the world.
In 2002, Colbert presented the results of all this in "Ashes and Snow" in Venice, Italy. A critique published on April 9, 2002 in The Globe and Mail stated, "Colbert raised the veil of Ashes and Snow, an exhibition of pictures and unprecedented both in scope or scale. Occupying an area of 12,600 square meters , is considered one of the largest individual views in the history of Europe. "
The videos present here are the cinematic portrayal of what Colbert accompanied in their travels and are part of the exhibition. It also brings the traditional music of the peoples he visited and this first video, even the recitation of a famous poem titled "Shame of Fire" narrated in three languages by Laurence Fishburne (English), Ken Watanabe (Japan), and Enrique Rocha (Spanish). It's just fantastic.
