Isn't photography wonderful..... One minute you can be photographing the 7m diameter revolving 'Gaia' art installation in Southwark Cathedral and then about an hour later you can be in Hyde Park having a 'time for images' shoot with a model......
More info and touring dates (for Gaia, not Deidre Rose....) here : my-earth.org/tour-dates/
P.S. More Deidre Rose photos to come but I thought it probably best to mix things up a bit.
From the website, "Gaia is a touring artwork by UK artist Luke Jerram. Measuring seven metres in diameter and created from 120dpi detailed NASA imagery of the Earth’s surface* the artwork provides the opportunity to see our planet, floating in three dimensions.
The installation aims to create a sense of the Overview Effect, which was first described by author Frank White in 1987. Common features of the experience for astronauts are a feeling of awe for the planet, a profound understanding of the interconnection of all life, and a renewed sense of responsibility for taking care of the environment.
The artwork also acts as a mirror to major events in society. In light of the COVID-19 pandemic, the artwork may provide the viewer with a new perspective of our place on the planet; a sense that societies of the Earth are all interconnected and that we have a responsibility toward one another. After the lockdown, there has been a renewed respect for nature."
