  • Spellbound!!! A MAGNIFICENT combination of nature and music, very calming, touching and with such beauty. Thank you so much for making this film. Indeed strange and sad that anyone should"dislike" this. A film to watch every morning on waking :) Love and Peace emanate. x

  • great

  • Singer is Lisa Gerrard, mainly.

    d

  • Does anyone know the name of the singer, please?

    Sounds like Nina Simone, but don't think can be.

    Thanks,

    d

  • An astonishing film and concept...

    There are some extraordinary people in the world, and Gregory Colbert is one of them.

  • There are no words...no... worlds...

  • What's the name of this music ?  ? ?

    Thank you so much

  • Stunning. Absolutely stunning.

    Love and Light

  • Please come to Chile!!!!

  • Lindo,Emocionante,Envolvente..­.

    Uma verdadeira obra prima!

    Parabéns!!!

  • When the Ashes & Snow exhibit came to NYC, it was so moving to me, it brought tears to my eyes... I went to see it twice... I have the photo book and the DVD. It's so beautiful and spiritual beyond description. Have not seen this before on YouTube. Very special.

  • Close to the beginning... there's a woman dressed in white dancing with a falcon, in a Temple... I've been to that Temple. It's in Egypt, only accessible by the Nile, in the small village of Edfu, it's the Temple of Horus. (Horus the Falcon, is one of the oldest and most significant deities in the Ancient Egyptian religion, being the god of the Sky, god of War and god of Protection.)

  • thank you its very beautiful!

  • Simply beautiful!

    Thank you very much for these moment! :-)

  • eso es lo que hace un fotografo preofecional como gregory colbert.... encerrar en imagenes y videos un puñado de sentimientos y emociones para luego explotar en la mente de cada individuo de una forma unica y natural....

    amo su trabajo

  • Merci !

  • Precioso hasta el infinito...gracias...

  • HEEE AYYY OOHH HAA NAAAA NAAA OOOOO AYEEE HAAA HOOOOO *music*

  • This is the biggest piece of sh*t I have ever seen. I am sure if I filmed myself in sepia and slow motion taking a crap all of you would love it too. It is a completely random combination of a bunch of pointless nonsense. I know you all love beastiality but please do that on your own time. Photography is for people who don't know how to make real art.

    ps... WTF MUSIC

  • @Unholybradd

    Life will give you time to reassess your analysis....

  • @Unholybradd

    You have a right to our opinion, however, they are just that, a p.o.v. And from your comment, its obvious that you strongly appose what your eyes are seeing. However, to accuse those who are deeply moved by this piece and accuse them of appreciating the art even if you were desecrating in it and accusing everyone who does appreciate this work of bestiality, says something more about your personal character than those who see no such thing.

  • I was actually blessed enough to go to his exhibition in new york many years ago. Im only 23 now, so I was pretty young, but I'll never forget it. I cried. I was changed forever. Its an amazing experience. Id give so much to be able to go again. Its truly an experience everyone should have. Absolutely soul soaring.

  • @StarryNight718

    non capisci un cazzo !

  • thats a dumb woman, that orangatang is horney and wants to mate with her but she thinks he is just trying to make a connection with her, stupid

  • @IslandWreck To see things the way you do, makes you a very poor person, and lm talking about you as something more than a piece of meat. But of course, you probably can't even percept what l mean. I feel sorry for you.

  • @bhdrandyal1993 That monkey is an animal, he has base animalistic drives through-out his entire life. I assure you he is thinking about food and or mating or a combination of the 2 his whole life- especialy during this french 'documentary' that monkey has no desire to make any connection with that human woman other then smelling her private parts, dont be disilusioned

  • @IslandWreck I'm not saying that your opinion is wrong, but the fact you see only with your eyes, and not with your imagination. There's energy in the world my friend, something you can see by hope, desire and good sence, even sex was just sex, but we made love by it believe me it exist.

  • Comment removed

  • @IslandWreck Aaaaahh, but if this is the case, many people would benefit by imitating these preliminaries before to smell the private parts of their partners. This monkey shows more affection than some men are able. I am not disillusioned... I hope the opening of consciousness by all this grace and beauty.

  • Totalmente affascinata!!!!!!

  • great im filled with awe

  • Beautiful! This is some of the best footage I've ever seen!

  • I love it!::::):):):)

  • Captan James Cook in his voyages has came to an iland not habited by people but full of animals, and they, the animals, where not afraid from the people and did not run away from them - cause they have never before seen people.

  • @ribeskigoce - really ? what island was this?

  • No esta ni la mitad de la version original !!

  • me siento unido a la energía mandada... gracias... te reenvió toda mi energía... gracias.

  • this is so fucking beautiful i might explode.

  • WONDERFUL :-)))

  • I've seen this like 5 times and for some reason I always start tearing up at 3:30 - 4:00. It's so..... idk there aren't even any words to describe the emotion that fills me <3

  • One of the most beautiful films I have ever seen - that fourteen people saw fit to give this a thumbs down says so much about our world - those fourteen represent the ugliness of man, capable of abuse and cruelty. That so many gave it a tumbs up gives me hope! Time stood still, thank you for this.

  • @NorthWindBlowingCold So true...the cowardly sadists' numbers are very small, but their actions have huge repercussions and ruin life for all good souls. Thankfully, I believe they're being "weeded out" to be removed from our presence forever :-) ...It's the only thing that makes sense to me for our experience here.

  • @NorthWindBlowingCold actually they may have thumbed it down like i have because its just plain boring in my opinion, sorry but thats how i see it. has nothing to do with cruelty etc as you wouldnt find a more animal loving and respecting person as myself.

  • @boontime Fair enough, I wouldn't argue with that....I guess I just hoped it might encourage people to think more compassionately about the animal world and to value it more.....of course that probably IS a vain hope.

  • @NorthWindBlowingCold So I ASSume you are a vegan, or vegetarian then?

  • @nickatnoon611 Yes I am a vegan

  • A stunning and moving display, beautiful.

  • Without a doubt this is an amazing movie, I just wonder what do we gain from this fully tranquility.

    Just stay still? What is the meaning of life in this calmness? It is like creating a passionless life! How can one have the pleasure of intimacy in calmness? When I get to this point, I cannot understand Buddhism. Correct me if I am wrong? Do I really want to stay still all my life? Absolutely Not! I love to experience this  calmness after having a challenging day!

  • IF the men continues to spend time and money behind wars and oter nonsense when ever grow?visit my jobs..ciAo

  • Very powerful art displaying the simplest of forms in depicting all of interconnected beings in an impermanent state of being. May all of motherly beings be freed from suffering...

  • I LOVE THIS GUY!

  • Bravo.....

  • The art installation/exhibit was very beautiful. I saw it in Venice/Santa Monica, California back in 2006. The films are amazing & it's beyond words to see the interaction between humans and animals.

  • +tingles+

  • Comment removed

  • 'The Absence of Time' Written by Heiner Goebbels, Cantor Samuel Vigoda Performed by Eastwestern String Ensemble and Cantor Samuel Vigoda

  • Why do I keep feeling like I'm watching an ad, for a credit card company.

  • xD Maybe because credit card adverts are becoming more useless?

  • Or some cheap student film. This is by far one of the most clever money making exhibition masking behind the concept of art....Man I wish someone could sponsor me to create something like this and branded secretly behind some stage name...All it takes is Flash, Photoshop and one crack marketing team to package this whole campaign...we'll laugh our way to the bank.

  • Me encantaria ver la exposicon en vivo, ojala la vuelvan a traer a la cd de Mexico.

  • Thank you mr. Colbert for this amazing artwork!

  • love....pure love

  • es la cosa mas hermosa que jamas allà visto en una pantalla.

  • Si, è la cosa più bella che abbia mai visto. Gregory è riuscito ad esprimere la completezza dell'anima della terra con musica e immagini, e credo che nessuno di lui, prima d'ora, sia riuscito a comuncare tanto.

  • C'est le plus beau travail visuel que je connaisse. La vie est belle. GODSPEED ALL of you. Enjoy. Beautiful!!! So wonderfull.

  • welcome to berlin...this is amazing...thank you!

  • непривзойденно...

  • this is so beautiful

  • Gregory Colbert is the greatest artist of the 21st century.

  • Why do this have to be a planified thing, an artwork and not a reality? Why do we have to watch this as a thought and not to live it? This video made me think a lot about this.

    And the singing in the first part of the video scared me... I'm still wondering why, it sounds like reversed, I don't know, but it gives the film a special feeling.

  • I'm crying. Sorry. A essência da beleza.

  • Shibumi

    A essência da beleza...

    " Uma espécie rara de perfeição"

    Percebida através dos sentidos, serena a mente, aquieta o coração e eleva a consciência em profundo estado meditativo.

  • well nice, brightened up my day. (shame we have to build this fantasy of harmony between animals and humans through artwork). zoo ya later

  • It's the music! Yes, definitely. Without this music tht effect would have been completely different.

  • Has it already been to Brazil? I've just found out about the exhibition and I'd love to watch it on my home country. Does anyone know which city(es) will it visit on Brazil? And is there a site for me to follow?

  • There is beauty in the film but it's weird when it shows the monkey getting off on the human. So we have a good film gone very bad ion the end.

  • The monkey is not getting off.. he is licking the water off of her skin. they are not afraid of each other. it is you who was getting off. your comment tells us what's on your mind..

  • Es fascinante, tiene un alma muy particular. Una observación fabulosa,

  • It really flips our perception back into what is REAL and what we have been conditioned to think/be. I have also seen photos of a man who rescued a 17 foot great white female after he was actually able to pat her. She would come up to his boat often and allow him to touch her as if to say " I love you and thank you for saving my life".

  • Una obra maestra, simplemente perfecto. sin palabras

  • Absolutely mesmerizing............! wow....
