Marble related photo projects

Rob Monaghan (Ireland) took a quarry lake as his subject for his residency in 2018. Especially his sub-aqua photos are highly fascinating. In June -August 2019 he got a beautiful exhibition with photos, a video and small installations. More info will follow.

"The Earth is smiling" was a photo exhibition by Ellen Warfield (USA) in the
Sociedade Harmonía Eborense in 2011 in Évora. Her motto was: “In quiet abandoned spaces we can see Mother Nature’s gentle sense of humor and generosity in making fun with our human wishes.”

Picture
Phil Moody (USA) made an impressive photo documentary on the workers in the marble industry. His (2x2m !) photos are exhibited In 2018 in the Palacio dos marquises da Praia e Montforte in Estremoz. 
Theo van Delft (Holland) made images of a quarry with a spherical camera.

Several artists portrayed themselves surrounded by marble, general as part of a bigger project.
Maria Hannson (Sweden) is singer and performative artist. She explored what the abandoned marble quarries could bring her. In two she danced (see the video on another page). In another quarry (the one where Rob Monaghan and Phyllis Akinyi were working: see elsewhere on this page), Maria had a photo shoot with Pedro Ferro.
Vibe Overgaard (Denmark) made a series of moon light photos of quarries.
Moonlight reflections in a quarry lake is a unique experience. Several artists went to a quarry at night.
