This photo dates from around 1979, when Marley was staying on King's Road in Chelsea, London. "He was at the height of his powers," Morris says. "You can see the vibrancy. The thing about Bob, to me, was that he had an incredible sense of being – his presence was enormous. He knew exactly what he was there for; what he was about; the power of his music; the power of himself; the power he tried to instill into people, what people could do if they believe in themselves. The man truly was a messenger."
Adds Morris, "One of the things that most people don't realize is that the rise of his success was four years: He really took off in '77, and by '81 he was gone. In four years, he conquered the world. He touched every single human being possible in such a short amount of time. It was an incredible feat." PHOTO: Dennis Morris

As an apex predator, the lion is viewed as the true guardian of the land, while the White Lion, in particular, is believed to be the King of Kings, an angelic guardian presiding over this sacred site and playing a vitally important role in the sensitive ecology of the region (and the whole world).



Makoto Tojiki has created the impossible: a man with no shadow. The construction is of a life-sized man and is made up of hundreds of strategically placed LED lights. The lights are all hanging on the ends of threads that are attached to the ceiling.

The ‘Man with No Shadow’ has clearly defined muscles and features that Makoto Tojiki has cleverly created out of hanging light bulbs.

There are limits to how much sound a cello can make. That's part of the framing of acoustical instruments. Finding what those limits might be, and then trying to suggest perhaps even the illusion of going beyond is part of that kind of effort.
