News from Beyond

News From Beyond dares you to switch off your device and tune into the spacious apparitions that live “in the beyond.”

A sparse landscape of invisible spirits offers news and sonic evidence of truths that seem to have disappeared from our daily lives, despite being all around us. Details such as things left by the roadside, descriptions of the weather, or other conditions of urban nature are called into being. Encounters with passersby are condensed into a collage of sounds that fill the initially deserted stage. Gradually, strangers emerge from the fog—everyday life takes a detour across the stage on their way from A to B, allowing two worlds to become more permeable to each other in a playful exchange.

Where are these not-so-distant voices from, and what are they trying to reconnect us to? Can we exorcise the ghosts of our present to imagine a reconnected future?
