Soundtrack of ĒOSTRE, a project by NACL
Film by IMMATTERS.

'Ēostre or Ostara, a goddess of spring and fertility in Germanic paganism, is elusive in all but one historical reference- Saint Bede's De temporum ratione. Bede attests that during Ēosturmōnaþ (the month of April) feasts were held in her honour among the pagan Anglo-Saxons, but had died out by the time of his writing. Now replaced by the Christian Paschal month, the authenticity of Ēostre is widely contested, yet symbolically she recurs across cultures.
Ēostre is a project by design duo NACL inspired by the notion of modern mythologies that are derived from ancient cultural practices. In this imagined, alchemistic ritual- welcoming new life, vitality & womanhood- a chocolate sculptural representation of Ēostre is consumed in a sacramental manner akin to worship and idolisation.
Its context in a predominantly secular society suggests that there is an intrinsic human need to connect with the supernatural to attain heightened spirituality. In an age where individualism has been greater than the collective, can emerging mythologies drive contemporary iconographies, gods and worship?'
