Bewitched to joy, enchanted to slavery. Men’s obsession with women will support, and has supported, art for thousands of years.

Obsession - An influence, notion or fixed idea, which persistently assails or vexes so as to discompose the mind; the uncontrollable desire to dwell on an idea or emotion, frequently involving an urge toward some form of action.

Magic, like any beautiful modern product, as its expiration date, then it fades and disappears. These who were bewitched to joy, are now condemned to hollowness and search, looking for another witch, another spell. Dorothy of Oz landed with her house on the wicked witch of the east and smashed her. But what do we want from our witches? Do we want to smash or to be smashed? However, there’s no doubt, magic is magic, enchanting, engulfing and ever attractive. Baum’s The Wonderful Wizard of Oz holds, among others, many political meanings. With Grien it’s different, here it’s about sex and passion, a passion to be bewitched, and a great fear at the same time. That’s what makes it all so exciting.
