Provenance

FRANÇAIS CI-DESSOUS

My introduction to spirit photography came at the Lily Dale Museum. These unusual images had never appeared in any photo history book I'd encountered, and they stopped me cold — strange and tender at the same time. They spoke to me about grief, love, and loss in a way that felt immediate and profound. I read them as parables of mourning, aching images circling the eternal question: what comes after death? I began reading everything I could about Spiritualism's photographic history, and this overlooked body of work became a deep inspiration to me.


FRANÇAIS

C'est au musée de Lily Dale que j'ai découvert la photographie spirite. Ces images singulières n'apparaissaient dans aucun livre d'histoire de la photographie que j'avais consulté, et elles m'ont arrêtée net — étranges et tendres à la fois. Elles me parlaient de deuil, d'amour et de perte d'une manière immédiate et profonde. Je les lisais comme des paraboles du deuil, des images douloureuses tournant autour de l'éternelle question : que se passe-t-il après la mort ? J'ai commencé à tout lire sur l'histoire photographique du Spiritisme, et cet ensemble d'œuvres méconnu est devenu pour moi une source d'inspiration profonde.
