That set in motion a lifelong fascination with Spiritualism.Taggart would eventually spend some 20 years documenting Spiritualist communities around the world, specifically in the United States, the U.K. and Europe. The results of her fascination have been brought together in a fascinating group of photographs in her book “Seance” .
Taggart’s images are rife with mystery. There’s a poetic bent to them as well. Looking at the images throws you into this unique world.Some of her earliest images were made in the world’s largest Spiritualist community located in Lily Dale, N.Y. An afterword to the book tells us: I was still trying to make it as a photographer at the time and had made the decision to attend the prestigious Eddie Adams workshop. It just so happened to be that Taggart was also attending the workshop that year.
