Within the alchemical nigredo

A powerful and deeply affecting presentation of images and text from Gast Bouschet’s Anarch, evocatively read by Peter Mark Adams and produced by Darragh Mason. Originally presented in Peter Mark Adams’s keynote, ‘Metamorphoses of Mind and Matter within the Alchemical Nigredo,’ at the Metamorphosis: Ecstasies of Matter & Image conference at the University of Copenhagen on 31st May 2024. The immersive film, with a soundtrack by Sutekh Hexen and Funerary Call, documents a transformative and sorcerous descent into the alchemical nigredo.

We recommend that you experience this transformative collaboration on the largest screen and best sound system you have access to.
