The shadow realm, think of it as the ultimate hell, only the worst of the worst go there, not to mention the shadow demons- But the "Sins", the Embodyments" the list goes on, on about what you would call the most powerful demons that shadra, the goddess of shadows, evil and everything vile in the world picked and gave power to herself mainly reside. As well as the shadow deities as well as shadra herself are

The living realm, the realm that is considered the middle of the others, a world where it is seemed to be safe but is quite the opposite, as it is too split into two sides, but that is a topic for another time. Both angels, demons, light angels or the "blessed" as some call them and the Shadow demons can have access to.

The underworld. It's a purgatory in a way. the main residence of the DOTD and where a mass majority of the dead reside. there are punishment layers for the bad and paradise layers for the good, as well as the normal layers or as inferno, a member of tho dotd calls them "the meh layers" for those who just lived life.

Last but certainly not least, the light realm. The realm where the kindest, courageous people go when they die. A realm of pure paradise, the exact opposite of the shadow realm. It's where the Light of humanity are. The angels created by lightra herself to keep the peace. As well as the tree of life and the light deities reside

  "In some of your photos you are concerned with ritual costumes and items. Especially in the series „demoniac babble“ and „parking lot hydra“. You are showing a side of Europe, of which many people don’t know it still exists. How did you get in touch with people and what fascinates you in this topic?

It started in 2006 when I decided I wanted to get in touch with one specific group I noticed in east of Switzerland. I had read books and saw a lot of iconography about these traditions. So I managed to contact one leader of one group in Switzerland, and I explained him roughly the idea. Basically, me following the group of men and not asking anything from them. They agreed. I went there and improvised, i had no idea this first project would become an obsession. I had no idea how it would turn out visually either. But as i was photographing them and be part of the parade I realized it was something i wanted to go deep into. So since then, almost every year at the same time, around Christmas, I decide for a new city and a different country. It's fascinating to see how the traditions survived, evolved and mutated. I'm particularly attracted to the ones with a strong "abstract side" ( visually), the giant costumes all made with leaves, horses hairs, birds wings. I love when it uses a raw element, it covers the body in a brutal way. I'm less into the very sophisticated ones with faces which look like faces and nice little folkloric outfits. I'm in search of timeless subjects with no obvious geographical references. That's why I go in Europe mainly, I look for this grey and a little romantic feel that you can find there, where countryside and cities have still some roughness."
