Crossroads is where we meet: Three French artists Hélène Bertin, Éléonore False, Ingrid Luche undertake the classic trip to the land of all myths, Athens where the artist Malvina Panagiotidi, joins them to further the exploration on rituals, rites, myths and processes of othering. This crossroad is safeguarded by Hecate, the Goddess of Crossroads and protector of the travelers who stands for in- between worlds, magic, witchcraft, ghosts, necromancy etc. Hecate was often represented as triple-formed, with three bodies standing back-to-back, probably so that she could look in all directions at once from the crossroads. Because of her polymorphy and ambivalence, she encourages us to embrace alterity and plurality.
