Photo-Montage by Walter Francis Elling

Drawing from his extensive collection of 15,000 photographs he has taken from around the world, Walter Francis Elling has created a striking series of photo-montages highlighting the boundaries between cultures and religions. The series also explores the mysterious and tenuous separations between life and death, consciousness and dreaming, and order and chaos. Thai Buddhas coalesce with Christian saints, images from Cambodian killing fields haunt a teeming jungle, and graffiti adorn monumental skyscrapers. East mingles with West, and the past with the present, in Elling’s provocative series “Between Worlds.”
