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.
Composed in four chapters—Harmony,
Reclaiming, Communion, and Waking Dreams—the screening program will be
accompanied by introductions by the artistic directors and a reception on the
program’s opening day. Program registration is available through the Biennale’s
website.
