Atelier Editions publishes a new edition of Séance, a monograph by photographer Shannon Taggart
Named one of Time’s best photobooks of 2019, and now revisited by Atelier Éditions, Séance offers readers a remarkable series of supernatural photographs exploring Spiritualist practices and beliefs within communities found across the US, the UK, and Europe.



NEW YORK, NY.- Atelier Éditions announced a new edition of Séance, a monograph by photographer Shannon Taggart.

American photographer Shannon Taggart’s fascination with Spiritualism, the belief in deceased individuals’ ability to communicate with the living, began during her adolescence when a medium revealed a family secret about the circumstances of Taggart’s grandfather’s death. Years later, Taggart, then a practicing photojournalist, found herself obsessively drawn to Lily Dale, New York—the world’s largest Spiritualist community. Her transformative experiences there catalyzed a 20-year odyssey documenting Spiritualist societies worldwide in search of “ectoplasm”—an emanation exorcised from the body of the medium, believed to be both spiritual and material.

Named one of Time’s best photobooks of 2019, and now revisited by Atelier Éditions, Séance offers readers a remarkable series of supernatural photographs exploring Spiritualist practices and beliefs within communities found across the US, the UK, and Europe. The photos are accompanied by Taggart’s commentary on her experiences, a foreword by Dan Aykroyd, creator of Ghostbusters and fourth-generation Spiritualist, and illustrated essays by curator Andreas Fischer and artist Tony Oursler.

Atelier Éditions’ reissue also features new commentary by writer and filmmaker J. F. Martel, additional images, and an updated design.

Based in St. Paul, Minnesota, Shannon Taggart (born 1975) has contributed to Time, Newsweek, New York Times Magazine, Discover, New York, Wall Street Journal, and Reader’s Digest. Her first monograph, Séance (Fulgur Press), was published in 2019. She is currently working on an illustrated book about the Society for Research on Rapport and Telekinesis (SORRAT), one of the most exotic cases in the history of psychical research.
