"Come away, O human child!/ To the waters and the wild" writes William Butler Yeats in his poem, "The Stolen Child." Yeats's darkly seductive promise of a new world comes to life in Kahn and Selesnick's new photo series titled, "Truppe Fledermaus And The Carnival At The End Of The World" at Robischon Gallery in Denver.
Nicholas Kahn and Richard Selesnick have been dreaming up imaginary worlds since 1980s. Their projects include fictitious documentation of an inhabited iceberg as well as a photo series of a society on Mars.

"Truppe Fledermaus" will be on view at Robischon Gallery in Denver, Colorado until May 4.
