Morna McDermott McNulty
The Museum of Posthuman Haunting

Artist Statement

This work is housed as a web-based platform. It includes a photographic curation of “hauntology” (Derrida, 1993); a site of memory and possibility. Images/words evoke a “monstrous theory” (McDermott, 2019) in a world haunted by monsters and ghosts of the future; of that which is “absent,” and that which remains. Museum viewers consider what it means to “exist” (or not) in the intersection of: post-humanism, global capitalism (Haiven, 2020) and plague (Covid19). Here are  abandoned places (haunting of the past), collaged with word/art (haunting of the future) and woven together into the ghosts, bones, undead memories, and haunting of the once-human of our historical moment.
