The folowing
pictures are of witches sitting on pumpkins, displaying a remarkable,
culturally embedded pattern. These witch/pumpkin artefacts were advertised
on the web, as cute, collectible commodities. This page (or its contents),
cannot be considered an endorsement of the products shown in the photographs,
and neither does it aspire to waste time critiquing the manifest functions
of these surrealist found objects (such as decoration or entertainment
value, for instance). It is the latent function(s) of such readymade
and found objects which are of interest. Despite the ornamental, aesthetic
appeal of these witches-sitting-on-pumpkins, they also just so happen
to be surrealist readymade objects, found objects, which encapsulate
the erotic energies of alchemical witchcraft.
