Wild Night is s series inspired by the Swedish Tradition of Årsgång. Translated as ‘the omen walk’, it is traditionally performed on new years eve or the winter solstice. At midnight one must walk alone and in the dark through woods to a specific location, often the village church. Once inside the woods one was said to encounter entities or manifestations -visitants - that acted as omens for the coming year. It is said some returned having lost their sanity, and is testament to the power of darkness to rob the otherwise sane mind of rationality.
