Augury

"Elena Helfrecht and Teri Varhool debut photobook is a compliation of their two stories, 'The Swallow' and 'The Cage'. These act like telegrams between worlds, merging distant places into a single space as the pair navigate Prauge, London, Bavaria and the Alps during the global lockdowns of 2020 and 22021. In Augury, sublime landscapes and natural phenomena take on the surreal and fantastic as the artists capture them through layers of mysticism. Iconoography and superstition are woven together to create visceral narratives of distorted consciousness, nature's mutations and the constant tension between light and dark, inside and outside" --
