Messages covers six different countries in Asia and Europe to understand and portray the underlying ancient beliefs of these countries. Pursuing her quest as an artist armed with the simple tool of black and white analog photography, Julia Calfee produces unusual, humanistic images which lead the reader to reflect on these otherworldly moments. Calfee demonstrates that comparable cultural legacies not only prevail today as they did hundreds of years ago, but are revered in ways that go beyond the explanation of geographical locations. In addition to the slipcased book, this also includes a 12 vinyl record and an exclusive online preview of Julia Calfee's feature film A Last Migration with subtitles in French, German, Italian and Japanese\""Julia Calfee, an artist whose media are photography, video, audio recordings, and writings, lives and works in Europe and Asia.
