extrasensory bonds

ARTISTS:
Sidsel Christensen, Leif Elggren and Thomas Liljenberg, Kimmo Modig, nova Milne, Lea Porsager, Robert Steijn, The Telepathy Project

13 June – 28 June 2014
insitu, Berlin

For «Framework 1: extrasensory bonds» insitu invited seven international artists to present their investigations into extraordinary forms of communication. Whether the artists focus on communicating with a higher power, reaching out to one’s own past- or future-self or understanding the world through their dreams, all experiment with existing techniques of extrasensory communication in their work.

By adapting methods such as hypnosis, telepathy, dream analysis or card-reading, the artists all open a door to intangible forces, some with a quite humorous approach. The exhibition had been designed as a laboratory space for visitors to experience unusual connections themselves. The audience had been welcome to try out self-hypnosis, artistic healing methods or register for a fortune telling session to discover their own extrasensory bonds.
