Mothmeister: Dark and Dystopian Post-Mortem Fairy Tales Mothmeister In Dark & Dystopian Post-Mortem Fairy Tales, Mothmeister pays homage to the muses who have sparked their alienating dream world. These range from artists worldwide, legendary figures, and their collection of taxidermy, to the lurid places where their figures were born, such as the catacombs of Palermo, Pyramiden or the disaster area around Chernobyl. It offers a special fairy tale world that flirts with the morbid, religious and grotesque, and in which stuffed animals are brought back to life in an extraordinary way.

In their second book, Belgian artistic duo Mothmeister bring together their signature mixture of creepy masks, taxidermy, and photography with lurid and cinematic effect.
