For episode 40 we welcome American artist and photographer Shannon Taggart and her documentary work with the spiritualist community culminating in the magnificent photo book S\\xc9ANCE.
\\n
\\nHer project evolved into an eighteen-year journey that has taken her around the world in search of \\u2018ectoplasm\\u2019\\u2014the elusive substance that is said to be both spiritual and material. We discuss what inspired Shannon\'s journey as well as some of the strange experiences she had and how it changed her.
\\n
\\nWith S\\xc9ANCE, Taggart offers haunting images exploring Spiritualist practices in the US, England and Europe: 150 of her original photographs, many of which have never been published, as well as rare historical photographs. Supported with a commentary on her experiences, a foreword by Dan Aykroyd, creator of Ghostbusters (1984) and fourth-generation Spiritualist, and illustrated essays from curator Andreas Fischer and artist Tony Oursler, S\\xc9ANCE examines Spiritualism\\u2019s relationship with human celebrity, its connections to art, science, and technology, and its intrinsic bond with the medium of photography.

\\nThere were a few problems with the audio so apologies if its a bit up and down in places.
