Imponderable

A hypnotic, ghostly drift through old photographs and séance lore, more like wandering a haunted archive than watching a story.

Directed by

Tony Oursler

Overview

Presented in a “5-D” cinematic environment utilizing a contemporary form of Pepper’s ghost—a 19th-century phantasmagoric device—and a range of sensory effects (scents, vibrations, etc.), Imponderable is an immersive feature-length film inspired by Oursler’s own archive of ephemera relating to stage magic, spirit photography, pseudoscience, telekinesis, and other manifestations of the paranormal.
