Phantom Bodies - The Human Aura in Art

Klappentext People often feel the presence of someone when no one is there. This may be a way of embodying the fear of the unknown. It may be a near-palpable memory of an absent person. And it can at rare times be a feeling of immanence. This catalogue includes artworks that indicate such presences through surrogates: shadows! imprints! or masks; objects as memento mori! or as other matter or energy.
