About "Baphomet and Modern Conspiracies - Fear and Fascination in the Corona Age"

About the artwork

Baphomet, a god allegedly worshipped by the Knights Templar, has generated much mystery and controversy over the centuries. During trials against the Templars, this so-called idol was often mentioned. According to legends, Baphomet has a goat's head, a woman's body and cloven hooves, and was worshipped by the Templars, who were eventually condemned for worshipping idols.

The recent Corona period saw an increase in conspiracy theories becoming mainstream. One of the notable theories was that Mark Rutte, the Dutch prime minister, would worship Baphomet. This rumour arose after he once received a ram's head as a gift from former prime minister Jan-Peter Balkenende. These theories highlight the fear and uncertainty many people feel in uncertain times.

Whether Baphomet actually exists or not is irrelevant; what is important is the intense fear some people have of him. This fear reflects a deeper sense of powerlessness and confusion. During the Corona period, many people were drawn to conspiracy theories as a way to get a grip on the chaotic world around them.

The slogan "do your own research" encouraged people to search for answers themselves, often resulting in a survival instinct to flee the perceived threat. This fascinating dynamic of fear and the search for control is an important aspect of modern life, especially in times of crisis.

This story of Baphomet, and the conspiracy theories surrounding his worship by well-known figures such as Mark Rutte, offers an intriguing insight into the human psyche and the ways in which fear manifests itself in times of uncertainty. It reminds us how deep-rooted and real people's fears can be, regardless of the actual basis of those fears.
