The 13th Seoul Mediacity Biennale 《Séance: Technology of Spirit》 presents a special screening program curated by artistic directors Anton Vidokle, Hallie Ayres, and Lukas Brasiskis for ‘Frieze Film Seoul 2025’, on view from September 1 to September 4.

The screenings will take place on the rooftop of Seoul Museum of Art and feature a selection of artists’ films that converge spiritual, mystical, and magical forces on the screen in ways that change our understanding of everyday life.
