EDITORS COMMENTS
This intriguing print captures a unique experiment from the 17th century titled "Hypnosis, 1680". The image is taken from the renowned book Physiologia Kircheriana by Athanasius Kircher, published in Amsterdam. In this woodcut, we witness an anonymous experimenter placing a chicken's beak on a line to induce hypnosis. The monochrome aesthetic adds to the mystique of this hypnotizing scene. The simplicity of black and white allows us to focus solely on the subject matter - the bird being hypnotized. It transports us back in time, offering a glimpse into scientific practices during the seventeenth century. Athanasius Kircher was an influential figure in his era, known for his extensive knowledge across various disciplines. His work often delved into unexplored territories like hypnosis and mesmerism. This particular print showcases his curiosity about animal behavior and experimentation. As we gaze at this thought-provoking image, it sparks questions about the nature of hypnosis itself. How did they perceive it back then? What were their intentions behind these experiments? This snapshot serves as a reminder of how scientific exploration has evolved over centuries while leaving room for further inquiry. Overall, this print offers not only historical value but also invites contemplation on our understanding of hypnosis throughout different periods in history.
