“Unlocking Secrets: How Heather Bartel’s ‘Exit the Body’ Transforms Lost Souls into Unforgettable Journeys”
Bartel poses similar or perhaps related, tangential questions in circling, cycling, cyclical ways, coming back round to them again and again. Like a scientist, she faces and interrogates her subjects backwards, front ways, sideways, from the top and bottom, in the mirror, from beyond the mirror, and beyond the grave.

Overall, the effect is at times beguiling, seductive, surreal, mind-bending.
