Ultima thule

Her joints were pulled apart by a wooden rack. Her breasts were burned with sulphur. She was tied to the wall with iron rings around her neck, feet, and arms. Accused of witchcraft, she refused to confess. “You can torture my body, but not my soul”.

A witch-hunt is a search for people labeled "witches" or evidence of witchcraft, often involving moral panic or mass hysteria. What an actual subject. It's all about control. Witch is a woman out of control. I am sure that if I had lived 400 years ago I would have been burned. For a moment I thought that nothing threatens me not. That this bizarre idea has no chance to exist today, that witch-hunts have passed. That nowadays there is a place for otherness and the power it brings. Our times show how wrong I was. History loves in returns. For centuries, the archetype of witch was present in human consciousness, culture, religion and art. I've decided to experience it through my vision. It was said that evil comes from the North. In the 1600s, the fishing village of Vardø was believed to be close to hell. It was here that 91 people -mostly women- were convicted of witchcraft and executed to be burned alive at the stake.
