Ted Serios - Photographer and Medium
Exhibition (in preparation) |
|
In the 1960s, Chicago resident Ted Serios became
notorious for the production of nensha on Polaroid film supposedly
using only his psychic powers. His abilities were endorsed
by Jule Eisenbud, a Denver-based psychiatrist who wrote a
book lauding Serios’ talents called The World of Ted
Serios: “Thoughtographic” studies of an extraordinary
mind. Serios’ images, which often appeared surrounded
by dark areas on the film, were often of typical postcard
scenes. Serios eventually was only able to produce his photographs
while holding “the gismo” to his forehead. This
device has been described as a “short part of a
Cylinder, formed from a single piece of photographic paper.
“
As Eisenbud’s book readily admits, many of Serios’
thoughtographs were produced while
Serios was drunk or drinking alcohol. According to Eisenbud,
“Ted Serios exhibits a behavior pathology with many
character disorders. He does not abide by the laws and customs
of our society. He ignores social amenities and has been arrested
many times. His psychopathic and sociopathic personality manifests
itself in many other ways. He does not exhibit selfcontrol
and will blubber, wail and bang his head on the floor when
things are not going his way.”
Most of Serios’s feats were dismissed as a simple hoax
by most educated people. Eisenbud’s faith in Serios
was extreme, and even as late as the 1980s, Eisenbud claimed
that previously unidentified thoughtographs were images of
Ganymede, a moon of Jupiter. Pictures of Ganymede had only
become available a year before thanks to Voyager 2. “Unfortunately,”
wrote Eisenbud, “I couldn’t get an astronomer
or optical scientist to agree.” Since 1967 Teds ability
to produce inexplicable structures on Polaroid vanishes more
and more.
Ted Serios died at 30 December 2006 at the age of 88 years
due to cancer. The exhibition
project “Ted Serios - Photograph and medium” shows
the first time unknown parts of the
extensive collection of Jule Eisenbuds investigation.

Public Relations – Film Festivals for Filmmakers
Report shorfilm Magazin - Short Film Scene Germany, Nov 2009 |
| |
For most filmmakers, short film festivals and events represent the only opportunity they have to present their films to an audience. Any further exploitation of their work (such as TV, DVD, internet, archives, art scene) is only ever open to a small number of films. There has already been much debate and reporting about the complex causes of this. But for their own part, filmmakers regard short film festivals especially as important forums for exchanges, as markets, as places of self-assertion and discourse, and last but not least, as adequate screening locations for their films. |
