Artists will go to extreme measures to create a unique masterpiece, and Israeli artist Sigalit Landau did just that with her latest project.
Landau had the crazy idea of submerging a black gown in Israel’s Dead Sea, and every three months, she would return to see how the gown was holding up in the salt-rich waters.
The project is an eight-part photo series called Salt Bride, and Landau got the idea after being inspired by her dead lover.
Landau’s salt-encrusted gown is a replica of the one worn in the dramatic 1920’s play Dybbuk.
Landau lowered the gown into the Dead Sea in 2014, and she checked on it at various times during three-month intervals.
Landau was able to capture the gradual process of salt crystallization, and her stunning gown is now on display at London’s Marlborough Contemporary until September 3rd.
If you think Landau’s salt gown is pretty cool please SHARE it with your friends and family on Facebook!
