Online Talk · Images from the Id: The Strange World of Psychic Photographer Ted Serios with Author Mikita Brottman

Although widely dismissed as a fraud, the “psychic photographer” Ted Serios apparently produced Polaroid images by staring into a camera, giving access to his thoughts, emotions, preoccupations, and the abyss of the unconscious mind. The images he produced are—like dreams—composite enigmas, merging id and ego, blending and distorting space and time. Join Mikita Brottman and plunge into the strange world of Ted Serios and his amazing “thoughtographs,” examples of external emanations that have always been part of esoteric tradition, with various forms and names: ectoplasm, tulpas, auras, egregores. We will also meet his companion, mentor, explicator and champion, the psychoanalyst and investigator Jule Eisenbud, whose belief in Ted’s extraordinary ability never waned.
