The circular platform evokes both a witches’ sabbath and a pyre on which supposed witches were historically burned. The platform is engraved with a poetic chant, written in the style of a simple folk song. Visitors must walk around it to read the lyrics. The text acts like a curse that bewitches visitors and draws them over to the supposedly ‘evil’ side. The work is also activated as a stage for the performances taking place during the exhibition.
