"Spiritualism is a religion that believes we can communicate with spirits of the dead. Photographer Shannon Taggart first became aware of Spiritualism as a teenager, when a medium at a séance revealed a startling detail about her grandfather's death which proved to be true. In 2001 Shannon set out on a journey to discover and photograph séance rooms around the world. Her prime motive was to capture and record ‘ectoplasm’ – the elusive substance that is said to be both spiritual and material. In her talk, Shannon will reveal the story of spiritualism and her travels alongside her original photos and historical imagery that attempts to capture sprits on film."
