Just learned about this reenactment of Christ’s crucifixion that takes place in Pampanga, Philippines, each year by devout Roman Catholics. Each year about ten people carry a cross through the streets in a huge parade, only then to be nailed to it by figures dresses in cheap ancient garb. Not only is it the physical embodiment of “Christ’s pain” but also has become a huge tourist attraction. What a fascinating cultural activity that bleeds into some of the contemporary art reenactments that I am really interested in, such as Pierre Huyghe’s The Third Memory (2002) and Jeremy Deller’s The Battle of Orgreave (2001).
