Surrealogy Explores the Ludicrous Nature of Picturing the Future

Make it stand out

Are you confused by your past? Are you dreading your future? Are the two starting to fuse together, turning your brain into mush, while you try to process everything that was and everything that will be at the same time? Let us show you one of the possible future worlds.

Surrealogy is a collection of 12 images based on the zodiac signs. The work took two years to complete, from careful planning to meticulous shooting to arduous post-production. It is now finished, it is complete, it is alive.

Surrealogy = the surreal + astrology, transforming all the star signs into visions of the uncanny, sights of the unseen, depictions of the inexplicable. A collaboration between graphic artist Fanny Pápay and photographer Éva Szombat, both well known for their style and substance in their native Hungary, Surrealogy is a collection of the zodiac signs, illustrated by a stream of free association symbols and signifiers, from lava lamps in transparent shoes through bizarre contact lenses to miniature glacier water bottles hydrating the tears of an angel, images of the unreal, of nature off the track, of time out of joint, of emotions running amok. Telling your future was never so deliciously depraved.
