The photography screening curated by Emre Küheylan discusses the concept of supernatural with different perspectives. In this screening, we go on a journey with 8 projects from 8 photography artists around the world.
On blurry frontier between reality and fiction, we will try to explore the relationship between what is visible and non visible. We will enter a dream world where we will search souls and interpret dreams. Then we will witness rituals and spells of rural communities and travel to seance rooms to search spiritualism.
