The Repeater Book of the Occult

The Repeater Book of the Occult

Late last year I contributed a short piece to a very special occult anthology book from Repeater Books, The Repeater Book of the Occult. As the book was published in the thick of the pandemic, the first in-person book launch took place only recently in Estonia. The book’s co-editor, Tariq Goddard, and illustrator Christiana Spens, were accompanied at the event by local musicians, for a…

This Thursday, for the first time on home soil in Sydney, we will screen the film “In the dark, dark room” along with my first book, published by @repeaterbooks, “Little Houses, Big Forests (desire is no light thing)”. ‘In the dark, dark room’ explores what happens to the psyche when we are isolated in nature – what rituals, fears and desires take over? The film was shot in the dark winter of 2016 in the depths of an ancient Finnish forest – the site of a pagan bear cult. It was shot during an artist residency with Mustarinda and completed in @uferlos.berlin, Uferlos Studios in Berlin. The film draws on the narrative and thematic elements from the book “Little Houses, Big Forests (desire is no light thing)”: exploring ecology, ritual and female sexuality. The work was featured by the BBC World Service: bbc.co.uk/programmes/p04px55v For further information: uferlos.berlin/portfolio/in-the-dark-dark-room-2017/ #forests #nature #ritual #ecofeminism #repetition #uferlosstudios #booklaunch #screening (at MUSTARINDA) https://www.instagram.com/p/BqYnESGFoPn/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=d07ltt8d699q
