Glovarme kullstykker treffer en naken brystkasse. De brenner seg inn i huden. Bekjenn! Bekjenn at du har trosset Gud og inngått pakt med djevelen! Trolldomsprosessene som fant sted på 1500- og 1600-tallet kostet i alt 350 menneskeliv, noe som gjør Norge til et av stedene i verden hvor trolldomsprosessene kostet flest liv per innbygger. Enkelte mindre landsbyer ble som resultat av store kjedeprosesser så og si tømt for kvinner. Majoriteten av de som ble dømt tilsto å ha inngått pakt med djevelen – hvordan hendte det? 

Dette spørsmålet er omdreiningspunktet for Marin Håskjolds utstilling Pinlig forhør på K4. Trodde straffemyndigheten virkelig at de anklagede kunne trolldom? Eller var trolldomsprosessene først og fremst en kynisk hersketeknikk for å kontrollere kvinner? Og hvorfor innrømmet så og si alle som ble anklaget at de kunne trolldom? Trodde de at de faktisk kunne det – eller var de for redde for makthaverne til å si imot? Med sin særegne filmatiske metode undersøker Håskjold disse spørsmålene på jakt etter å forstå hva som drev fram det mest omfattende justismordet i norsk historie.

OM KUNSTNEREN

Marin Håskjold (f. 1993) er en kunstner og filmskaper med base i Oslo. Hun har studert bevegelige bilder ved Nordland kunst- og filmskole i Kabelvåg. Identitet er et sentralt tema i Håskjolds arbeid, hvor hun går filosofisk til verks i sin utforskning av ulike oppfattelser av kjønn og genus fra et skeivt og feministisk perspektiv. Hennes verk har blitt utstilt og vist på en rekke kunstinstitusjoner og filmfestivaler, deriblant Tate Modern, Bomuldsfabriken Kunsthall, Coast Contemporary, Kyiv International Film Festival, Helsinki International Filmfestival og Kortfilmfestivalen i Grimstad. Håskjolds kortfilm «Hva er en kvinne?» (2020) har mottok Amandaprisen i 2021 i kategorien beste kortfilm.

TAKK TIL

Utstillingen er realisert med støtte fra Viken filmsenter, Stiftelsen fritt ord og Kulturrådet. Takk rettes også til Alva Brosten, Christa Barlinn Korvald, David Krøyer, Josephine Kylén-Collins, Lærke Grøntved og Tora Turøy. 


EMBARRASSING INTERROGATION

By Marin Håskjold

Drawings by Christa Barlinn Korvald

Curated by Una Mathiesen Gjerde

Red, glowing pieces of coal hits a naked chest. They burn their way through the skin. Confess! Admit that you have forsaken God and made a pact with the Devil!

The Norwegian witch hunts that took place during the 16th and 17th century cost a total of 350 human lives, which makes Norway one of the countries in the world where the most people were sentenced to death for witchcraft per capita. Some smaller villages were almost emptied of women due to the mass hysteria of the witchcraft prosecutions. Amongst the people that were sentenced to death, the majority confessed that they had made a pact with the devil – how did this happen?

Marin Håskjolds new film, and homonymous exhibition, Embarrassing Interrogation centers around this question. Did the prosecuting authorities really believe that the accused knew witchcraft? Or were the witch hunts primarily a cynical master suppression technique applied to control women? And why did so many admit to knowing witchcraft? Did they believe that they had supernatural knowledge – or were they too scared to protest? With her distinctive cinematic method, Marin Håskjold explores these questions, searching to understand what motivated the most comprehensive miscarriage of justice in Norwegian history.

ABOUT THE ARTIST:

Marin Håskjold (b. 1993) is a camerabased artist based in Oslo. She has a BA in moving images from Nordland School of Arts and Film in Kabelvåg. Notions of identity is a central theme in Håskjolds work, where she explores different understandings of sex and gender in a queer and feminist perspective. Her work has been exhibited and screened in several art institutions and film festivals, such as Tate Modern, Bomuldsfabriken Kunsthall, Coast Contemporary, Kyiv International Film Festival, Helsinki International Festival and the Short Film Festival in Grimstad. Håskjolds short film «What is a Woman?» (2020) was awarded with the Norwegian Academy Award, the Amanda, in the category best short in 2021.
