Product description

Poster of the exhibition Shadow Creatures – From Spirit Photography to the Ghosts of the Algorithm

Shadow Creatures shifts the focus from photography as a medium of light to shadows. The exhibition spans the history of spirit photography through to the algorithmic phantoms of the present, showing how images summon beings that inhabit our personal, social and political unconscious. At its centre are ghosts, occult creatures, glitches and non-human figures that appear in analogue and digital image worlds. In doing so, the exhibition reveals that images are never merely objective evidence, but open up spaces for imagination, uncertainty and other ways of seeing. The exhibition thus shows how contemporary images continue the historical search for the invisible to which spirit photographers of the nineteenth century had devoted themselves. At the same time, it examines how artificial intelligence, datasets and algorithmic imaging systems produce new phantoms.

The exhibition brings together works by Cihad Caner, Nina Davies, Tomokichi Fukurai, Sung Chi-Li, William H. Mumler & Helen F. Stuart, Trevor Paglen, Mario Santamaría, Janne Schimmel, Steph Maj Swanson, Shannon Taggart, Agate Tūna and Sheung Yiu, as well as contributions by students from the Master of Arts in Interaction Design at the University of Applied Sciences and Arts of Southern Switzerland (SUPSI).
