Cursed images are a type of internet meme that have gained great popularity in the digital culture in recent years. These unsettling and eerie images often feature bizarre, creepy or inexplicable content that is intended to evoke a sense of unease and discomfort in viewers as well as to make a person question the reason for the image's existence in the first place.. While cursed images have become a popular fixture of internet culture, their origins, participators, situations and meanings remain largely mysterious and unknownable. This archive serves as an overview of some of the recurring aspects found in cursed content such as: masks, costumes, liminal spaces, food in unusual places, strange objetcs, strange interactions etc. These are of course just some of the aspects that appear in cursed images, there is much more content that re-appears in these kind of images.
