Enter Ghost

Enter Ghost is an audio-video walk series by Swoosh Lieu that turns a cemetery route into a layered narrative you experience on your smartphone. Wearing headphones, you follow a set path while audio and visual elements play at specific points to connect you with the voices of FLINTA individuals; some sequences draw on documentary material, others imagine possible lives. The app guides you through acoustic and visual layers that weave memory, the present and speculative futures, offering a single-session experience of roughly 70 minutes. For best results, download the content over Wi-Fi before you go.
