PT 333 - Spirit Photography

(3.00 cr.)

Do you believe in ghosts? Spirits? The metaphysical? Have you ever seen or felt such a presence? Photography has a long history of capturing things the eye cannot see. Does this include spirits or the metaphysical? This course investigates these inquiries by examining nineteenth century spirit photographers through contemporary artists who strive to photograph the metaphysical. Students are introduced to the history of this discourse and guided through the process of making spirit photographs, constructing their own personal photographic spiritual spaces, and exploring the metaphysical through photography.
