All of Them Witches
Bego Antón

£38

All of Them Witches considers the history of witch hunts in the Basque Country of northern Spain, where accused women were forced to make a damning series of confessions before the Inquisition. The existing narrative of violence and debauchery supposedly performed by the women was documented exclusively from a male perspective, forever marring the dignity of their real lives and names. Antón’s photographic work transforms these distorted testimonies into playful images that question the historical record and form a modern, relatable storyline from the absurdities of the past.

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)
