Exhibition: Dreams Travel Wondrous Wires

November 12 - December 6, 2025

Saelyx Finna’s project Dreams Travel Wondrous Wires centers on a short film exploring the life and work of poet Jane Roberts, whose trance-channeling of the metaphysical entity "Seth" formed the foundation of the New Age movement in the 1960s-80s. The film takes audiences on a dreamlike journey through Roberts’ Victorian house in Elmira, NY, where she channeled Seth’s teachings on consciousness, reality, and dreams. Through this film, Finna reintroduces Jane Roberts’ work to a contemporary audience, with visuals of the house intertwined with excerpts from the Seth material. The film aims to connect viewers to their own dreamworlds, with a focus on the transformative power of dreams.
