"Unveiling the Obscure: From Angerona Goddess to Alchemical Disc" Step into a world where hints of obscurity intertwine, revealing hidden tales and mysteries. Like the enigmatic Angerona Goddess, shrouded in secrecy, these clues beckon us to explore further. Imagine witnessing a total eclipse of the Sun from Earth's orbit; an awe-inspiring spectacle that leaves you breathless. Just as Hardy's novel "Jude the Obscure" captivates with its melancholic beauty, this celestial event evokes emotions beyond words. Intriguingly, even nursery rhymes like "Hey Diddle Diddle" hold their own obscure charm. Savoy Steps' 1st State dance us through riddles and whimsy while whispering secrets only they know. As if following a cryptic path, we find ourselves amidst darkness illuminated by burning candles on a lady bowing down. The image speaks volumes about introspection and surrender to our innermost desires. The Hanging poster transports us back in time to an episode from A. Siegel's novel "Les Drames de Toulouse. " Its vivid colors hint at scandalous affairs concealed within historical events—a reminder that obscurity often hides intriguing stories waiting to be discovered. Gilles de Laval, Baron de Rais—seigneur of Retz and marechal of France—unveils his sinister side as a serial killer of children. Leopold Massard's handcoloured lithograph captures both fascination and horror surrounding this dark figure from history—an unsettling glimpse into humanity's obscured shadows. A comic postcard featuring William & Rose puzzles us with its pair of reefs down—a blank canvas inviting interpretation or perhaps concealing something deeper beneath its surface humor. Finally, an alchemical disc made of metal emerges from black-and-white photography—the juxtaposition between mysticism and scientific precision adds another layer to our exploration of the obscure.
