Sally Pomme Clayton tells tales of her families&#8217; experiences with spiritualism, interweaving recordings of her grandfather\u2019s voice with her own voice. She traces the cultural history of spiritualism from the 1850&#8217;s, when science and photography tried to capture the invisible, through the mass bereavement of two World wars. Sally Pomme contrasts her family\u2019s search for evidence, with the dazzling visions of 18th century mystic, Emmanuel Swedenborg. His daring ideas are conjured in poetic fragments, where he bravely surrenders himself to exploration of the supernatural, travelling through the cosmos, in search of truth.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_1487\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-1487\" style=\"width: 210px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/makeandbelieve.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/01\/Night-Visit-5-Sally-Pomme-Clayton-the-letter.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-1487 size-medium\" src=\"https:\/\/makeandbelieve.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/01\/Night-Visit-5-Sally-Pomme-Clayton-the-letter-210x300.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"210\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/makeandbelieve.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/01\/Night-Visit-5-Sally-Pomme-Clayton-the-letter-210x300.jpg 210w, https:\/\/makeandbelieve.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/01\/Night-Visit-5-Sally-Pomme-Clayton-the-letter.jpg 561w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 210px) 100vw, 210px\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-1487\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Night Visit &#8211; Sally Pomme Clayton<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p><strong>Night Visit<\/strong> is innovative and immersive.
