Inhaltsangabe

A range of meaningful objects-exhibits of human remains or live people, fetishes, objects in a Catholic Museum, exotic photographs, commodities, and computers-demonstrate a subordinate modern consciousness about powerful objects and their "life". The Spirit of Matter discusses these objects that move people emotionally but whose existence is often denied by modern wishful thinking of "mind over matter".
