Message:   Earth form the Air is a free Exhibition at the Natural History Museum; the exhibition review was about global and social changes in the world of planetary discovery. The photographic depictions used in the exhibition were to suggest the sublime and spiritually blessed of cultural collections.

Yanns Arthurus Bertrand is the new millennium of Ariel photography, an expert in expressionism of theories whereby he has completed visionaries of his patronage to the global world of national landscapes. Yann Athurus Bertrand was born 1946, whilst living in Kenya Yann participated and observed lions in the Maasai Mara reserve, whereupon he was inspired by the multicultural unity. The 160 Large images outside the Natural History Museum contain landscape visual perspectives of 76 different countries, in an attempt to observe the hope of new generations, also including these countries in his ten year patronage project, Africa Australia and Southern Argentina
Founded in eighteenth century by the Victorian Albert Museum, the South Kensington Institution progressed to show the general public’s willingness to observe, outstanding events that had occurred, during his patronage during recent years, with the understanding to believe, realistic structural assembly of Biology and World expeditions premeditated within it’s outside court yard walls, a truly divine and successful response for the on goers. The natural history museum according to (Duncan C: 1995:5) ‘The scale is built on the assumption that only works of art are philosophically and spiritually rich enough to merit isolated aesthetic contemplation’.
The atmosphere of the museum suggests that the activities of cultural collections are linking Yanns work to the imperialism dominating i.e. prestigious artefacts which have been dated back to a prehistoric era. Through the court yard it had appeared to be the symptoms of our emotions in how Yann expresses cultural communication, which filtered techniques, through the eyes of the untrained and is some what ahead of its time in the daily lives of our people, within participants observing. I notice that there was the use of Braille, implementing a purpose to make real sensations and sights in allowing the blind participate in acknowledging landscapes images naturalising the appearance of reconciliation. For all the seduction merit of this exhibition, I am aware by the imperialist activity of the museum and it does inherit cal incorporation of other cultures.
The review of Yann Arturus Bertrand is one of many obtaining the French national award, the D’Honneur of Unity and Division. Which France currently awards him for his solemn Techniques in photography? The 60 books of his self directed glance have enabled him to know the dream therapy of depicted practicality. We ask ourselves who would honestly fund this type of project and why? The support of Impact photos, weconninic8, UNESCO, Ten 4, Chameleon Digital, The Natural History Museum and The Heritage Lottery Fund, will attain saving the planet’s atmosphere and vulnerability to polluted lands and oceans consequently the world’s global phenomenon.
Who now has on offer Print cards, educational packs and note pads that show pictures and landscapes of origin, civilising research findings. There are a few of my favourite picture moments that you could ever inspire within the readership of protecting the environment and air facts.

• 2.5m x 2m Actual size photographs;
• Bales of cotton in Thonakaha Ivory Coast
• Algae cultivation in Bali Indonesia

The review would be simpler to focus this sense or normative research of cultural framework, purporting (Hartley J:1990: 50) The required elaboration of new theoretical models, and the reworking of certain central organising concepts (for example, class, ideology, hegemony, language, subjectivity). Meanwhile, attention at empirical level was focused on ethnographic and textual studies of those cultural practices and forms that seemed to show how people exploit the available cultural discourse to resist or rework the authority of dominant ideology.
Earth from the air is now showing at Birmingham city centre, inspiring the same subjectivity and brief reviews features that is supporting more of Yanns cultural collections, but there is hope in Birmingham still, with the help of the Birmingham city council Arts Team they have gone a head to produce another spontaneous display of artefacts which will indeed exemplify to the future of photographers to come.
