Gallery hours are Saturdays, 3-5pm. The Rebel Body, 2019 – Video installation, 29:44min, HD Video, Sound Please note: this film will restart every 30 minutes during gallery hours The Rebel Body explores place as a memory-keeper and the landscape as a witness to buried histories of violence. The project consists of a film, titled The Rebel Body, that takes the murder of Anna Göldi (1782), the last person to be executed for witchcraft in Europe, as its point of departure. The film tracks Göldi’s final route through Glarus, Switzerland, and records the varying ways that town residents recount and circulate her story today. By searching, the filmmakers ask: How does the story of Göldi’s persecution haunt the present? How can future generations enter a history that has left no personal trace behind?
