In Search of Ghost Affects is an immersive project that invites audiences into a somatic encounter mediated by responsive, creature-like sculptures that capture and transmit physiological signals such as breath, pulse, and temperature, between participants. Separated during the interaction, participants communicate through the sculptures’ translation of internal states, perceiving one another while becoming more aware of their own bodies.
The project is grounded in the idea that internal, often unconscious states continuously shape relations between bodies, technologies, and environments through ongoing feedback loops. Drawing on Karen Barad’s concept of intra-action and Brian Massumi’s notion of ghost affects, the work makes perceptible how relational forces emerge prior to conscious thought.
Developed for a solo exhibition at Tetem in Enschede (21 October 2026 – 4 April 2027), the installation offers a public setting in which these otherwise invisible dynamics can be directly experienced.
