My great-grandmother-a spiritualist/medium. A hypothetical "world" was defined by creating an archive of material of her presumed possessions: the study of night-shirts, glasses, lace, chandeliers from Villa Utopia. These possessions become a Family Portrait. The Spirit, with which this relative communicated, is implicated in a form of sleep defined as eternal. This practice requires specific and appropriate clothing: night gowns, The shroud is the nightgown of the spectrum, it is his white sheet, it is her veil. A link is formed, the funeral veil of the widow, the veil covering the face of the medium, the veil that covers each item of the entire collection. What is there in "afterlife"? What lies “beneath” the veil? The Veil Lifted: the raising of the veil. The True Spectres or the False Spectres. "Fake diamonds take nothing fromthe value of real diamonds, artificial flowers do notPrevent there being natural flowers," Allan Kardec.
