Sven Türck
The Danish psychical researcher and photographer Sven Turck conducted repeated tests of Jonsson’s psychokinetic powers, guarding against any possible trickery by creating strong controls in his laboratory. In Turck’s laboratory in Copenhagen, the researcher photographed Jonsson, together with a select group of psychic-sensitives, performing feats of psychokinesis. Turck set up three cameras at different angles, so that one always showed the action from behind, one from underneath, and one from above. After a series of sittings with the sensitives, chairs and objects began to move. A large worktable rose up on one leg and began to whirl around its own base, pirouetting faster and faster. Turck’s greatest wish was that they might get the table to soar freely in the air so that he might photograph the phenomenon of levitation.

UN/HEIMLICH - Starter/2014
Tumblr media
German unheimlich (uncanny) means something that is seemingly known, yet it triggers a particular feeling of disorientation. Discussed by German psychiatrist Ernst Jentsch and Austrian doctor and psychoanalyst Sigmund Freud, this ambivalent concept becomes a theme of UN/HEIMLICH exhibition held in Starter gallery. 
Works presented attempt to conceptualise alienation, which can be experienced while existing in an environment seemingly safe and tamed. This deeply rooted belief in another, alternative reality affects our perception. Unannines is being exposed by different artistic strategies. Invoking unconscious fears and supressed doubts, they raise a question regarding boundaries organising our knowledge.

Photographs from Danish photographer Sven Türck’s 1945 book “I Was Familiar with the Spirits” in which Sven took images from the many seances he participated in. Both people & inanimate objects can be seen moving and levitating without cause.
