LIFE: A Journey Through Time
On Sunday afternoon, friend KS and I went to go see the photo exhibit LIFE: A Journey Through Time on display at the Museum of National History on the University campus. The exhibit, a seven year project of the photographer, Frans Lanting, is absolutely amazing.
I don't know exactly how to adequitely explain it because it is at the cross-roads of science, art, and natural discovery. The press release describes it as "lyrical photos trace Earth's history from the beginnings of primordial life to the ascent of mammals through otherworldly landscapes and breathtakingly intimate portraits of animals and plants." And although the photographs were separated by time period-some just showing depictions of what earth might have been like prior to the ice-age- they were all beautiful and breath-taking.
After walking away from it I realized it was ultimately some of the most captivating nature photography that I have seen in a long time because of its focus on the symbolism as well as the subject. I loved it. I would highly recommend visiting this exhibit- the photographer literally traveled the world- bring back with him the beautiful realities of the world we now live in and how long it has taken life to get here. A day later I can't help but think about some of the images I saw.
