ξόρκια / incantations

'ξόρκια / incantations' is an on-going project that researches the traditions and rituals from past and present cultures from all over the world and the relationship between science and the occult. 

People from both the scientific and occult worlds have come to similar observations that hold universal truths; in the same way, they have all come to conclusions that are false. I am researching into the similarities between these two languages and creating incantations of my own that are conveyed through the combination of photography and text and presented in the form of a postcard. I create each magical ritual based on my own experiences and by using symbolism or certain elements from a specific culture whilst cross examining how the scientific world supports the process or the components that make up each incantation. It is important that the artwork is passed on rather owned by a few and that it's affordable, which is why the rituals are presented in the form of postcards.
