About Gregory Colbert
- Gregory Colbert (born 1960) is a Canadian filmmaker and photographer best known as the creator of Ashes and Snow, an exhibition of photographic artworks and films housed in the Nomadic Museum.
- Colbert sees himself as an apprentice to nature.
- His works are collaborations between humans and other species that express the poetic sensibilities and imaginations of human and animals.
- His images offer an inclusive non-hierarchical vision of the natural world, one that depicts an interdependence and symmetry between humanity and the rest of life.
- In describing his vision, Colbert has said, '"I would define what I do as storytelling…what’s interesting is to have an expression in an orchestra—and I’m just one musician in the orchestra.
- Unfortunately, as a species we’ve turned our back to the orchestra.
- I’m all about opening up the orchestra, not just to other humans, but to other species.'"
