Conduction is a way of moving through space, but it also involves moving through time. During this Conduction, Harriet evokes images of the past such that they are present in some phantasmatic, half-real and half-spiritual manner.

A person’s history makes them who they are, but will always have a mythical, intangible quality, accessible only through recollection.
