A psychic walks into a gallery. What she 'sees' will haunt you differently than any horror film.
A series of psychic readings of spaces, commissioned by the artist in an attempt at connecting with the past of domestic or exhibition spaces, despite the limitations of rational discourse. The video is not edited, respecting the actual duration of the performance.
Direction
Blum's refusal to edit respects the awkward, real-time tension.
Production
The unaltered duration becomes its own formal statement.
