New media artist and transcendental filmmaker
Raymond Salvatore Harmon
will present for the first time in public his work
Sigils of the Heptameron
Based on the seven invocations of the angels of the day from the fourth
book of Agrippa's Occult Philosophy (attributed to Peter de Albano).
These 7 transcendental films contain all of the original text of the
invocations of each day as subliminal content. The origin of these
works date back to the Sepher Maphteah Shelomoh (Book of the Key of
Solomon) and can be found in their earliest versions in the Book of
Light.
The Heptameron outlines the rites for conjuring angels for the seven
days of the week. These pieces form a collection of occult cinematic
invocations utilized as practical tools for ritual magick.
"For Harmon, the visual density of the abstract imagery used will
enable the viewer to enter an almost hypnagogic, liminal state, and
“become perceptually distant from the sense of the real. Once the
enveloping visual content has become the landscape of the mind to the
viewer, the subliminal content (namely the text of the rites) will have
access to the subconscious mind.” - Jack Sargeant, Fortean Times
Until now only performed in private this piece, originally commissioned
by an unnamed occult order, provides an active example of Harmon's
transcendental film theories. Look forward to an astounding night of
occult transcendence.
