In 1795 the great German thinker, Johann Wolfgang von Goethe, published a fairytale, 'The Green Snake and the Lily', in a magazine named Die Horen, created by his contemporary, Johann Christoph Friedrich von Schiller. Such tales are also embedded in the far ancestral past, in ancient Egyptian tales transcribed by W. M. Flinders Petrie in 1899. For the storyteller, Genie Poretzky-Lee, this knowledge underpins awareness of an ancient literary genre, validating a tradition of short poetic stories.
The INCANTATION publications facilitate an exploration of this unusual form of writing, in a renewed and inspired way, alongside Genie's photographic illustrations.
Volume 3:
In Japan yorishiro are objects capable of attracting spirits.
And so to Spheres . . .
Why Sphere? Is this fundamental shape magical?
The following Incantation is inspired by the nature of the question itself, recalling the origin and power of the spherical in its many manifestations.
The trilogy titled INCANTATION is a set of unique, unusual and individual artistic publications. The teller, Genie Poretzky-Lee calls upon images and words, engaging page by page with the magical nature of an ancient practice used by our ancestors to orally transmit some of their observations perceived in the supernatural world surrounding them. This resonance travels beyond time and can now reach an inquisitive reader between the printed text, the images, and the imagination.
