This art book documents the public art action, Seeking Diviners, and pairs it with street photography, journal excerpts, and graphic design to explore the metaphysical at the dawn of the Anthropocene.

For the art action, Leonard posted hundreds of flyers around Brooklyn in attempts to connect with people comfortable talking about the end of the world. Each flyer included tear-offs with a contact number and email address. This book includes photo evidence of the street campaign as well as selected voice transcripts, emails, and text responses.


Seeking Diviners includes photographs by Leonard, as well as artists Nina Mouritzen and Michael Duva. Text selected and edited by Molly Gallentine.
