Geistergrund / Spirit Grounds / 霊地, 2021.

The book explores the mythological ground of contemporary urban life: places that are materially tangible and at the same time emerge through narratives, memories, myths, and beliefs. Through photographic and filmic works, experimental painting, and texts, Michael Hirschbichler investigates sites in which different temporalities and realities overlap, and in which the living coexist with ghosts, phantoms, and other forms of the unseen.
