Last Thursday in As Neves was held the Pilgrimage of Saint Martha of Ribarteme also known as the 'Pilgrimage of the coffins', the oldest in Galicia (dating from 1700), and one of the world's most bizarre fests. Because it's followers are 'survivors', people who raffled death because they asked the saint to intercede for them (or a loved one). Since then they return once a year to this remote galician village to show their gratitude barefoot or on their knees, while others drift on shoulders in a coffin waiting to be granted the miracle.
Peter Keydel and Sara Calatayud from Mago Production, joined the australian artist Claudia Terstappen and the photographer Greg Wallis up to Ribarteme to film the event. The material will be part of the film and photo documentary of the couple, it is about the various rituals that are practiced in the world around death. The project also includes images taken by Terstappen and Wallis in Indonesia, Mexico and Australia.
The exhibition is this work is scheduled for next year at the DKM Museum of Duisburg, Germany. In addition, the material filmed during the last week of July in Galicia will be part of a documentary, produced by Mago Production.
