  • Catalogue Essay

    For her series What To Do With A Million Years, Juno Calypso travelled 26 feet underground in a suburb of Las Vegas to an unoccupied, 15,000-square-foot 1970s Cold War bunker, complete with a pool and a garden. Subterranean Kitchen, presented here, was created during her three days in isolation – eating, sleeping, filming and photographing herself – inside this perfectly preserved time capsule. This cinematic photograph of Calypso in a pink dressing gown, shot from behind as she leans against the island in the pink-and-white kitchen and looks out at the pitch, black windows has become the most desired image from the series. Calypso has won several awards, including the 2016 International Photography Award by the British Journal of Photography, and has been selected for the 2016 Foam Talent. Subterranean Kitchen will be exhibited at the 2019 Rencontres d'Arles.
