About

The latest incarnation of occult artist Miki Aurora's oeuvre, Death, Resurrection, Ascension marks the artist’s premier feature length art film--a work documenting an unscripted, ritualized, psychedelic healing process. A sea of glitches floods the visual landscape of the work--documented on security cameras-- causing the movements of the characters, a ritualist (Aurora), and a seeker, engaged in a sacred rite, to merge with the aether of the surrounding, sterile room.

Throughout the course of the ceremony, the two women oscillate between various frontiers of the seeker’s psyche, as Aurora engages with occult technologies in an effort to aid in the excavation process of psychological trauma from within the subconscious mind of her cohort. As her layers unfold, a window into the shrouded world of the ritual arts is opened, a world rich with canonical visions, and iconography surrounding the work’s scriptural namesake--told through the swan song of one woman’s archetypal sorrow.

The film's score is the work of award-winning composer Raghunath Khe, a former Vedic monk whose ethereal soundscapes form a core component of the work's DNA. Death, Resurrection, Ascension will mark Aurora and Khe's second public collaboration.

What People Are Saying

“Beyond emerging in some ways, Vancouver artist Miki Aurora . . . is not yet a household name. But with her beyond-the-box exploration of interdisciplinary art forms, and working within the taboo areas of occult and ritual, pop fame doesn’t appear to be at the top of Aurora’s reasons for doing the work that she does.”
- Ash Tanasiychuk, Vandocument

“This is their [Miki Aurora and Death, Resurrection, Ascension composer Raghunath Khe] investment in the discourse, contributing to the corpus of technology’s interface with the spiritual and sublime. What makes Dystopia Dreaming [2016 ritualistic collaboration] additionally intriguing is its ameliorative ends, the potential it identifies in this sublime space. . . . Ritch and Miki aim for nothing short of revolution.”
- Jonathan Kew, Discorder Magazine

“[Miki Aurora and Death, Resurrection, Ascension composer Raghunath Khe] are crafting intriguing and necessary ideas, and their latest project Dystopia Dreaming could be the inspirational template for a new wave of esoteric feminists.”
