Juno Calypso’s new surreal underground photo series is creepy AF.
The photographer stages self-portraits in a house built by the founder of Avon cosmetics in order to explore the eerie pursuit of eternal life
When Juno Calypso arrived at the underground house in Nevada, she didn’t know what to expect. Aware of the address and its unique history – Girard Henderson, the founder of Avon cosmetics had built the luxury space, and lived there (26 feet underground) with his wife, a Hollywood hairdresser to the stars – she wanted to capture something more than mere “opulence”. After just a few days, Calypso became fascinated by the space, which she likens to “a tomb or a mausoleum. It was so quiet down there and nothing had faded because there isn’t any natural sunlight. It’s a time capsule”.
