Telephone â Communication. Invisible technologies like those at work in electricity, magnetism and telegraphic sound transmission are often met at first with awe and some superstition. For some, including Thomas Edison, their complexity creates a margin of possibility for other types of unseen forces. In 1920 after meeting the spirit photographer Sir William Crookes, Edison reportedly had the idea to develop a telephonic device designed to communicate with the dead. No such designs were made while he was alive, but several years later in a séance, his ghost shared the whereabouts of his plans and the participants oversaw the spirit phoneâs construction. It did not work. The receiver in this deck represents one belonging to my grandmotherâs black rotary phone in the corner of her dining room. In the few years before her death, phone calls to hear these stories again brought me closer to her and revealed that bits of the stories changed with each retelling; gloves that were white last time were purple the next. Her memories of the experiences were altered each time she placed herself back into them, which is perhaps what made them worth revisiting. Upright: This card starts in an inverse position - hanging upside-down, the receiver is off the hook and suggests an absence on the other line. Communication may be blocked. Inverse: the receiver is just that â accepting, open to connecting.
