From its inaugural Black Plaque in honour of Witchfinder General
director Michael Reeves, this unique collection follows a veridical
trajectory to the frontiers of belief. Reeves' film becomes a
conspiratorial cauldron drawing in a host of tragic players in the
end game of the Sixties. The Cornwall of Du Maurier's The Birds is
ploughed to reveal the hidden psychic codes of our Blitz spirit. In
a powerfully relevant occult rendering of a bruised Island, the
myth of Churchill is dissected and re-animalised. New maps of hell
are drawn by colliding the forensic vision of JG Ballard and
Lovecraftian magic. Actors, witches and psychopaths maraud across a
nightmare terrain of murderous henges and abandoned military bases;
conflating creative research into a surreal documentary, history as
hallucination. Geography becomes an alchemical alembic, a vale of
soul-making distilled by the lysergic psychobiology of Stanislav
Grof, the alcoholic lyricism of Malcolm Lowry, and the convulsive
travelogues of the Marquis de Sade. If history is revealed as
paranoid ritual, how do we escape its time traps to wild new
imaginative geographies? The English Heretic collection is a darkly
comical, urgently lyrical, mental escape hatch from the hells of
our own making.
