Direction and Photographs by Negus Jin
Illustration coordination by Szymon Kwinto
Purgatory is a Rainbow is an ongoing collection of illustrations over photography. This is a collaborative project lead by the amazing photographer Negus Jin. In this project different illustrators are given one of Negus Jin's film photographs and a topic to explore visually. Like Negus Jin's other projects, the work in Purgatory visually explores themes of mental health and the surreal world we live in. This slow growing art series allows different artist to explore and re-imagine Negus Jin's beautiful and often melancholic photographs , by adding in illustrated elements to inhabit the space, giving the photograph a new narrative.
What is done won't be spoken.
We're all godless and broken.

A frightful exile,
Drifting down a concrete Nile,
Damned to wander miles.
