FRANÇAIS CI-APRÈS

I was first introduced to spirit photography at Lily Dale Museum. I was taken back by these unusual images that were absent from my photo history books. I found spirit photo-graphs simultaneously strange and tender. They spoke to me about grief, love, and loss, in such a powerful way. I read them as parables of mourning; aching visuals that echoed the eternal question, what comes after death? I soon began reading all I could about Spiritualism’s photographic past, and this newfound imagery became an inspiration to me.


FRANÇAIS

J’ai découvert la photographie spirite pour la première fois au musée de Lily Dale. J’ai été frappé par ces images inhabituelles, absentes de mes livres d’histoire de la photographie. Je trouvais les photographies spirites à la fois étranges et tendres. Elles me parlaient du deuil, de l’amour et de la perte, avec une grande intensité. Je les lisais comme des paraboles du deuil : des images poignantes qui faisaient écho à la question éternelle, que se passe-t-il après la mort ?


J’ai rapidement commencé à lire tout ce que je pouvais sur le passé photographique du spiritisme, et cette nouvelle imagerie est devenue pour moi une source d’inspiration.
