Statues, paintings, and masks—like the bodies of shamans and
spirit mediums—give material form and presence to otherwise
invisible entities, and sometimes these objects are understood to
be enlivened, agentive on their own terms. This book explores how
magical images are expected to work with the shamans and spirit
mediums who tend and use them in contemporary South Korea, Vietnam,
Myanmar, Bali, and elsewhere in Asia. It considers how such things
are fabricated, marketed, cared for, disposed of, and sometimes
transformed into art-market commodities and museum artifacts.
