Description
Photographed and researched over a period of more than ten years, the images were created in collaboration with female relatives and friends of the artist posing in the place of ostracised witches. Together with texts by Amaia Nausia, Alice Markham-Cantor, and Antón herself, the book is presented as a collaborative and critical dialogue that demystifies the figure of the witch while reclaiming the memory of women forced into silence
Co-published by Overlapse (English edition) and Ediciones Comisura (Spanish edition)
