In the exhibition It’s Haunted Marianne Hurum composes an environment that eludes the viewer's focal point to evoke an uncanny experience. This artistic approach mirrors psychological research demonstrating that stimuli at the fringes or edges of your consciousness may exert a distinct presence even when remaining below the threshold of perception. Furthermore, what exists at the margins of one individual's experience may serve as the focal point for another. In this presentation Etzel Cardeña will discuss research indicating that what we perceive as "reality" is inherently personal, uncertain, and, at times, deeply haunting.
Etzel Cardeña is Professor of Psychology at Lund University.
The talk will be held in English.
