Stereotype of the Devil: SATANIC PANIC (2024)

Jakub Pavlík

About this exposition

A visual study/moodboard/presentation of a certain conspiratorial and often delusional stereotype of the character of the devil in the context of what was known as "SATANIC PANIC" in the era of 80's and early 90's in the US. Even though many of these associations come mainly from the western world, they have been more or less understood and recognized as "devilish" across the world and in the visual culture. There is a certain stereotype about calling something "SATANIC". Labeling things, activities, clothing, art, products, people etc. as "devil worshipping" often isnt connected to any kind of worship what so ever. There is this re-accuring act of calling out something as "Satanic" often snowballing the situation into an idea of an active threat, thats dangerous to the public. The "SATANIC PANIC" era lead to over a 12,000 unsubstantiated cases of these so called "Satanic practices" and many people ended up in jail because of it. This Satanic labeling has become a parcipatory missinformation quest.
