Adrain Chesser: The Return
The Return is a collaboration between photographer Adrain Chesser and ritualist Timothy White Eagle. The aim was to create a mythic portrait of a people, a place, and an ideal, working with a coterie of fierce individuals who traveled nomadically through the western United States. They embodied the ideal of living a symbiotic relationship with the Earth, based on the ways of early Native Americans.

The infrastructure and architecture are accentuated to such a degree, they take on an intense hyperreality, inducing newfound awe. (Pei-Ru KehWallpaper2013-08-21)
