Hexeneinmaleins is centered around the themes of witches, invisibility, and the female data gap. These issues are deeply interconnected and have had a profound impact on the experiences of women throughout history.
The erasure of women's experiences and perspectives is a central aspect of both witch-hunts and the female data gap. The witch-hunts were fueled by patriarchal attitudes and a fear of women's power, which led to the demonization of women and their exclusion from society. This same attitude persists in modern-day society, where women's voices and experiences are often dismissed or ignored, leading to a lack of representation in data and research. 
The female data gap refers to the systematic exclusion or under-representation of women in data and research, which can have serious consequences for women's health, wellbeing, and opportunities. This gap in knowledge has been perpetuated by a variety of factors, including biases in data collection and analysis, as well as historical and cultural factors that have contributed to the undervaluing and erasure of women's knowledge and expertise.


HEXENEINMALEINS (13'56''), video, 2020

An associative dream sequence about witches and fear
For her research into the contrast between the imaging of witches and how witch hunts actually took place, Nazanin Fakoor has developed a video about fear. ​
She asked people questions like "What is a witch?" and "What are you afraid of?" and created an associative dream sequence out of the answers she received.
Hexeneinmaleins is part of the audio-visual summer programme
 a room with a view by Workspacebrussels. It consists of nine artistic proposals that can be explored online.
