スコットランドと日本にルーツをもつナナカマドの木の迷信を巡る作品。庭にナナカマドを魔女除けとして植えるスコットランドの習慣について植物学と民俗学を中心に研究し、口承文化がどのように現代まで受け継がれているのか、もしくは失われているのかを探求する。スコットランドの魔女狩りが起こった土地を中心に旅し地元女性達の声を集めた映像作品では、現代の女性にとって魔女狩りという出来事がどのような繋がりを持つのかを問いかける。


The rowan tree (sorbus), native to Scotland and Japan, features in both countries’ folklore and also appeared in a memory shared by her grandmother. Inspired by a Scottish superstition “to grow a rowan tree in your garden to protect your family from witches”, she explores where and how this oral tradition remains today. Traveling across Scotland to the sites of the witch trials, interviews with local women reflect on what witch-hunts mean to them today.
