門 [Gate] drifts through Tokyo’s spectral architectures, where glass towers and subterranean voids hum with unseen presence. In this work, the artists Milan Loviška and Otto Kraus reject dominant logics of clarity and mastery, instead attuning to queer monstrosity, spectral animation, and the quiet pulses of non-human memory. Illness and haunting are not errors to be corrected but energies to be felt—flickering signals from the peripheries of culture and consciousness. The film becomes a séance without resolution, a visual spell that transcends time and place, offering apparition as a mode of connection, not proof. Here, the supernatural is not outside the real, but its overlooked underside—alive, enmeshed, and glowing.
