Berlin, June 25, 2025 –
We are pleased to present Seeing Ghosts, a contemporary art
Xexhibition curated by a collective of young curators from IESA in collaboration with Lage Egal
Curatorial Projects, which invites audiences into sensory and emotional encounters with the
unseen. Th
Berlin, is the city shaped by its layered history and alive with its own ghosts, carries the weight
of memory in its streets and spaces. The city’s unique energy, shaped by division and
reunification, trauma and renewal, offers a compelling context for Seeing Ghosts .
The exhibition reimagines them as carriers of memory, history, and echoes of those who came
before us. These presences reverberate through physical, emotional, and cultural spaces,
weaving into our present moment and continuously shifting in real time.
Seeing Ghosts brings together four artists from China, Ireland, Japan and Germany to engage
with the notion of "ghosts" through diverse cultural and historical lenses—ranging from
European sociology and ancient mythology to Shinto beliefs and pop culture.
Through drawings, paintings, photography, and video works, these artistic expressions give
voice to the unseen, tracing the faint presence of what lingers just beyond perception.
Seeing Ghosts invites reflection on presence, memory, and the unseen forces that shape our
shared realities.
German artist, Anna Maria Podlacha combines personal photographs with found archival
images through double exposures and image manipulation. The questions are starting to
emerge between visible and invisible, how are collective stories constructed? Can we find
individuality in the anonymity of collectiveness? In Echoes of Restoration, Irish artist, Cian
McCarthy reflects on the complex experience of receiving a cochlear implant. Through video
and sound, he explores how healing is not only physical but deeply emotional and internal.
Looking toward Asia, in Japan, people believe that spirits are thought to reside not only in
people, but also in all elements of nature, Japanese artist, Iyamari makes the invisible
perceptible by her research-based video and sound work inspired by cherry blossoms, a symbol
of special significance in Japanese culture. Artist Kurt Yau Kwo Keung comes from Hong Kong
draws parallels between his work and the city he based in : layered, fragmented, offering a quiet
meditation on pain, survival, and the invisible traces we leave behind.
