Unknown creatures, Ephemeral Beings peering at us from a distant past or resonating as echoes from a far future. Immortalized through a series of photographs, they present a glimpse into an imaginary world - a world deeply connected with nature.
In their ongoing work on the series ‘Ephemeral Beings’ Bigum+Björge explore the connection between humanity and nature through the lens of tales and imagination. Ephemeral sculptures made from materials sourced directly from nature during intimate walks through the surroundings. The Beings embody the fleeting moment of magic that arises when human imagination and nature intertwine. Existing only for the brief instant of the photograph, the sculptures are subsequently released back into the environment, where they will naturally dissolve. As the Ephemeral Beings disintegrate, they live on not only in the photographs but also in the emotional resonance they leave behind.
