A: Is for Art that takes you to faraway places!

The Monadic Nomad "A Journey of Chance" runs through September at Splashlight located at 1 Hudson Square, on the corner of Varick and Canal Streets. 60,000 square feet are filled with more than forty photographs of India, an audio-visual installation, a room of photographic images on hand-made paper from Nepal, with accompanying text, this exhibition is a mystical journey into the ordinary life and nature of the nomadic world. Not only is this show exquisite but it gives back to the land of whose images are captured. The images challenge us to see the mystical, individual, impenetrable, monadic existence.

One journeys as a traveler on multi continent discovery where the realities, revealed unfolding moments. These insights were captured by Peter Ruprecht's on his journey across India in the late fall of 2006. Peter Ruprecht is an award-winning photographer and filmmaker and Vice President of Interactive and New Media for the global lifestyle and fashion company Marc Ecko Enterprises. In 2004, Peter co-founded Forza Films, a South American documentary production company that has produced work for leading networks. Born in Argentina to the great granddaughter of President Manuel Quintana his eye captures the soul of all those he sees. The hand-made paper where the photo's are displayed comes from Nepal. It is an industry that flourishes because of its value and quickly renewable nature that contributes to the health and preservation of forest ecology. Proceeds from the sale of the art go to charity: water, a non profit providing water to people in developing countries. The collection will specifically fund freshwater wells and sanitation projects in India. When you enter you are engulfed in the celebration of the beautiful power of life and the need to live harmoniously with each other and the natural world.


Art not only shows the inner workings of a world but also supports it and that is a F.A.C.T.
