Our Clairvoyant Physician

Unpublished collage novella. 100 images and a handful of epistolary passages that tell the love story of a clairvoyant physician (Eury) who, stirred by oneiric messages from a mysterious woman in hollow earth, endeavors to find her, accompanied by his dog. Upon finally locating his Orpha he moves in; they have a child. The daughter comes of age and follows in her father’s footsteps, descending further into yet another, heretofore undiscovered second hollow earth in order to bring comfort to those in the land of the dead. The tale ends with her return to her parents’ home with a new ghost boyfriend; there’s a big party, things end happily. An upside down retelling of the Oedipus and Eurydice myth, filtered through a Jules Verne lens. Images 12” x 18”. Selected images shown here. © Derek Owens, all rights reserved.
