AIR Talk
Spirits of the Past – Fantasies and Investigations on Present and Future Ghosts
Artist Talk by Filippa Pettersson
A new point zero in time has been created. Humanity as we know it is gone and a new world of creatures inhabit Earth. On their journeys they sometimes come across objects from <0. From these objects and from various collected facts, assumptions and fantasies about the past, a brand new world of spirits arise.
During this session, we will collectively reflect on present ghosts as well as fantasise about ourselves as restless spirits of the future. What is the function of ghosts in our present society? What rituals do we perform to create peace with / for disharmonies souls? What kind of souls will inhabit a future, spiritual world and why did they get there?
