A darkly evocative compendium of images exploring natural,
constructed, imaginary and subconscious underworlds, curated by
renowned image collector and social media figure Stephen Ellcock.
From the burrows and secret bunkers beneath our feet to imagined
hellscapes and surrealist dreamscapes, the disquieting, alarming
and wonderful visuals span natural and constructed subterranea and
imagined and subconscious worlds. A personal introduction by
Stephen together with contextual chapter introductions establish
the key themes, while supplementary texts elucidate essential
concepts, historical events and figures. Thought-provoking
literary, philosophical and spiritual quotations punctuate the
intriguing images. Together, the images and authoritative text
highlight the interplay between the real and the imagined,
revealing how the real has fed our fears and hopes and informed our
imagination – and conversely, how our imagination has depicted
the esoteric, the abject and the unknown.
