The Shadow Traps

Episode 19. And Why Would The Sun Deceive? (or, 'The Mute Testimony of the Picture')

Irfan Shah Season 1 Episode 19

A short, digressive episode in which we will explore the perceived authority of photographic images through its use in the solving of crime, the persuading of people in the existence of ghosts and in the potential to influence perceptions of conflict. The episode goes on to imagine how Le Prince's work on cycloramas may have influenced his views on film in later years.
