Wilfried “Sätty” Podriech
“There really is another world within our world. Through the imagination you can see it. It’s a matter of will. Almost everyone can achieve it if he activates only one centre of the brain at a time.”
Wilfried Sätty attempts to implement his vision through a fantastic and massive occult collection that dates back to a 1630 alchemy text and a 1648 magic and healing hook. The old volumes have mystical artwork that often inspires him and becomes part of his alchemic experiments with art.
