This augmented-reality pop-up print remediates The Witch of Malleghem , a 1559 image by Pieter Brueghel the Elder depicting a witch and her assistants removing “stones of madness” from villagers’ heads. Through dramatic re-enactments and re-animations of the figures in this work, we reflect on the visual rhetoric used to de-legitimize healing practices outside of the dominant patriarchal religious/medical establishment in Europe during that period. This piece was created for The Witch Institute at Queen’s University in 2021 with support from the Queen’s Arts Fund.
