Episode Synopsis

Impossible Souls was a two-person exhibition by Xiao Ma and Steffen Pollock produced by Gabriel Sacco. I had a chance to experience their show even miles apart and through our conversation on the podcast, we hope we can extend this experience to you.

Xiao and Steffen, two artists with distinct styles and ways of navigating art, synced beautifully to hand us a show that’s warm and cosy. It tickles the curiosity.

Gabriel Sacco, the visual cultural producer is an artist himself. He finds joy in producing work that shares another voice.

As these two worlds meet - We are held captive in a dimension called Impossible Souls and it’s a beautiful place to be.

We invite you to tune into this episode to discover IMPOSSIBLE SOULS as they narrate the work process, feelings and thoughts that went into creating this show.
