Our Ghosts, Our Shells, (Enhanced) David Blandy & Petra Széman

FACT Liverpool, 17 September - 16 November

Our Ghosts Our Shells (Enhanced), 2025 , David Blandy and Petra Szemán, made with the support of Arts Council England

In their collaborative game Our Ghosts, Our Shells, (Enchanced), Blandy and Szemán share layered references to games of their youth, nostalgic artefacts and anime inspirations in a pixelated landscape of memory. Lucid game structures, immersive storytelling, and nonlinear narratives allow the works to invite a navigation into speculative futures and alternate pathways of existence. Blandy and Szemán work within the realms of identity and selfhood, reality and simulation. This works builds on their previous exhibiton, Alternate Presence at Seve

Produced by Nina Newbold, Exhibitions Producer, FACT
