skēnē gladly invite you to the second exhibition of the year: Ghost Frequency*, presenting new works by Matilda Tjäder, in collaboration with Mathias Tang, alongside Chiara Ambrosio’s film La Frequenza Fantasma [The Ghost Frequency].

The title of Ambrosio’s film, specifically refers to the role that the invention of the telegraph (and the transmission of sound signals) played in spiritualism: a technological advancement allowing to tune into frequencies that, although invisible to the eye, are nevertheless a fundamental aspect of our collective consciousness.

The exhibition asks how the sensorial can be fine tuned so as to pay attention to frequencies beyond the apparent. Matilda Tjäder and Chiara Ambrosio’s work alike elaborates on the role machinic interventions has on sense perception, following the understanding that sound and images, once released, will never decompose but will continue to haunt the ether, inaudible and invisible but an unquestionable trace of lapsed presence.

During the opening evening on the 14th of March, Matilda Tjäder performs Drive. Drive is a performance experienced from the backseat of a car–a vehicle designed to transport its passengers through the shifting landscapes of an outside, that from an inside become the perfectly mute projection canvas for a live-commenting driver.

Screening: 22.03.24, 18:30

skēnē’s exhibition programme is supported by Region Skåne.
