Online Talk · The Camera and Death: Why Photography Has Always Been Haunted with Photographer Dr. Joanna Madloch

In this visually rich lecture, photographer and scholar Joanna Madloch traces the haunted history of the medium from nineteenth-century postmortem portraiture and séances to literature, cinema, and contemporary art. We will see how images became instruments of mourning, evidence of the supernatural, objects of fraud and belief, and unsettling reminders that every photograph outlives the instant — and sometimes the person — it depicts.
