Allessandro Gallega is a witch doctor in Catemaco, whose rituals aim to heal and protect the seeking. ‘La Tierra de Brujos’, as the Mexican town is often called is due to the vast concentration of magicians. The casting of a wide array of spells use supernatural forms of ritualisation, often with the invocation of spirits. Requests that involve black magic are also wide spread, and indeed performed by some Brujos who draw a lesser rigid line. Beyond good and evil.
This series explores a surreal encounter that led to an interactive documentation. Wherein all parties participated in the act.
