"WHITE SALT" is the name of Japanese artist Motoi Yamamoto's first Italian solo exhibition.
His work is characterized by the research and experimentation with unusual materials, like salt or glue, both techniques that he has developed through a unique and personal research in style. Color is not a present element in Motoi's work; his interest is focused on the output of lights and shadows through the construction of shapes.

Salar de Uyuni Serves You The World’s Largest Natural Mirror

Have you ever experienced your reflection in a natural mirror right under the sun? No, then visit the Salar de Uyuni, in Southe west Bolivia, close to the crest of Andes, at an altitude of 3,650 meters. The stretch of salt extends to 4,085 square miles and is about 10 meters thick.

During the wet season, the salt stretch transforms into a natural mirror, since a sheet of water layer enables to reflect any image that falls on it. Most of the time, the sunny blue sky is apparently visible in the mirror that makes a stupendous spot for tourists from all round the world. LINK
