The photographic strategy in Séance by Shannon Taggart revolves around an intense exploration of ritualistic and supernatural themes, often evoking a mysterious and unsettling atmosphere. Through a distinct visual approach, the book examines the uncanny and the spectral, deploying imagery that intersects with ideas of the occult and the unseen.
The project seeks to immerse viewers in a mood that is both enigmatic and charged with a sense of hidden power, using a carefully constructed aesthetic to probe the boundaries between the living and the dead. The 304-page volume, published by Fulgur Press in 2022, presents a sustained inquiry into the cultural and visual manifestations of séances and related practices.
