The title of the exhibition, which in Polish triggers association with dumbness or infant babble, refers to Tadeusz Miciński's esoteric work from 1910 – Nietota. The author used a word which commonly described an extinct genus of tree-like plants from 300 million years ago. As folk superstition had it, especially in the Carpathian Mountains, they possessed magical powers.
As the French philosopher and sociologist Edgar Morin claimed, in the old days there was no distinction between magic, technology, religion and art. While drawing on the relationship between art and the inexpressible, and the connections between artistic and magical practices, the exhibition simultaneously raises the problem of the persecution of antisocial individuals, and indirectly – the aestheticisation of violence, which is present in the theatre-like setting of witch trials.
