Jesse Jones / The Tower
24 June - 30 September 2023
Jesse Jones' 'The Tower,' the second part in a trilogy beginning with 'Tremble Tremble' (commissioned for the Irish Pavilion at the 57th Biennale in 2017), is a powerful feminist work exploring the events that culminated in the witch trials.
Featuring daily performances, visitors are encouraged to step inside Jones' immersive and cinematic installation and ask: 'Who came before the witches?' Jones' work delves into the lost knowledge of women’s ecstatic visions through the writing and song of medieval female Christian mystics, and evokes the strange, isolated imaginaries of anchorites and hermits along with troubling histories of religious and state incarceration of women.
