6. Auguries at Grand Central Terminal
Birds are landing at the dining concourse of Grand Central Terminal in photographer Rory Mulligan’s new series, Auguries. In the photography lightboxes spread throughout the East and West Dining Concourse at Grand Central Terminal, commuters can examine twenty images that depict birds in unexpected settings. The constructed backdrops are made of fabric and found materials. During the pandemic, Mulligan began shooting these avian portraits as a way to capture a sense of connection and peace amongst isolation and uncertainty. He employed ethical bird photography techniques as set forth by the National Audobon Society to capture the colorful scenes.
