Stemming from Derrida’s 1993 notions of “hauntology” and the idea that the present exists only in respect to the past, this book was designed as a tool for channeling the modernist spirits of Charles and Ray Eames. Tying back to automatic drawing, spirit photography and the pseudo-scientific language of the 19th century, the book is a lighthearted attempt to see what the past can still teach us.
