Joanna Cresswell

The Illusionist

Harry Price, a photographer, researcher and pseudo-scientist who dedicated his life to investigating non-rational phenomena, established the National Laboratory of Psychical Research in 1925. There are fascinating accounts from the Laboratory's archives that detail the absurd ways in which mediums created bogus paranormal activity in front of the camera to trick scientists and the public alike. In echoing the methods of these illusionists and working with basic materials such as wood, paper, light and cheesecloth, I began building a series of obviously constructed conjurations, that when photographed and presented as a series of studies in an ongoing document, work to highlight the underlying absurdity of belief invested in the photograph to distill absolute truth, and its relationship to the unexplained.
