“We want other people to have a centre, a history, an account that makes sense. We want to be able to say this is what he did and here’s why. It forms a lock against oblivion. Does it?”
-Anne Carson, Nox
The world of psychics has inspired many strong believers and many staunch adversaries. I am interested in the line that teeters between belief and skepticism.
The mediums and psychics photographed have been working in the field for over two decades. They believe that their abilities have the potential to help heal the people who are open to receive it. When people show up in the midst of grief, trauma, and transition these mediums act as a guide.
This is an ongoing project following metaphysical practitioners around New York and New Jersey.
