Press release

SPELLS, CURES. THE 9TH DIMENSION. V2
02.10 – 15.11.25 at Salon de Papier by Mobius x Cartierul Creativ
Opening: 02.10, 19:00



Beyond the 9th gate, reality shifts its density: ordinary matter appears infused with supra-meaning and manipulated by forces that defy the known laws of physics, while the relation to the surrounding world is mediated by the inherent presence of mystery. Stepping across this threshold means accepting the magical as a constitutive dimension of reality.


The exhibition unfolds as an installation drawing from the research of SPELLS, CURES. THE 9TH DIMENSION. V2, a project on witchcraft practices and their seamless entanglement with everyday life. The artistic approach engages with the documentary material just as magical thought transforms the everyday, animating it.

We invite you into this hybrid space where artistic vision overlaps with ethnological research, and where the central element is precisely that which cannot truly be documented: the subtle spectrum of reality.
