Fylgjur are creatures from nordic mythology, spirits that protect and guide a human being in the form of an animal, where the type of animal reflects the character of the person. For this first series of works Jauss & Gauger place silhouettes of animals onto previously painted canvasses, often depicting humans. They then rework the canvas in multiple shades of white. Only after completion do they take away the silhouettes and only then, the human and the corresponding Fylgja become visible.
