Wiro Mag: Ghosts is a continuation of how art can critically engage a breadth of topics. In this edition, we explore how the supernatural, unknown, and ethereal can be visualised, explored, or challenged.
In a supernatural sense, ghosts exist primarily as a superstitious belief that the souls of individuals continue long after their bodies expire, often in spaces most associated with their actions in life.
Alternatively, ghosts also exist in a way that can be both proven and observed, such as the evidence humans leave behind on the landscape and urbanised areas alike, in addition to the minds of those that outlive us.
This publication is designed to artefact a snapshot in time never to be repeated again, underpinned by the works and ideas of seventeen artists from around the world that in some way, engage with the theme of ghosts.
As I invite you to explore the variety of different works overleaf, I hope that they allow the reader to contemplate the various ways ghosts influence people's daily lives, and how their persistent actions shape our everyday.
