For twenty years, photographer Shannon Taggart has been taking pictures of the world’s largest Spiritualist community in Lily Dale, New York – and other smaller communities around the world.
In her exciting quest to capture the invisible, Ms Taggart achieved surprising results. Her search for the ectoplasm – a substance believed to be both spiritual and material – led her to explore not only the tricks of the trade and its neglected photographic history, but also its lesser-known links to science, prominent historical and intellectual figures, and the women’s rights movement.
