For the past three years Borges has been visiting and photographing various tribal and indigenous cultures whose beliefs encourage a communication with the spirits of ancestors, animals, forests, lakes, mountains, and other elements of the natural world. The people in these cultures are usually referred to as 'Animists' or 'Pagans' and their spiritual mediators as Shamans.
Diane Farris Gallery is pleased to announce a solo exhibition of a new
series of selectively toned black and white photographs by Phil Borges.

explore the many facets of Shamans and Animists.
