Description
A Stereoscopic Surround Sound Installation.
Work in Progress.

The viewer enters a darkened room to discover life size stereoscopic figures that appear to inhabit our own three dimensional space. These phantoms reenact a series of séances held in Algeria and Paris from 1904 to 1912 with the French medium Eva C.
