Courtesy Christian Berst Art Brut : Qui est Tom Wilkins ? C’est la question à laquelle Sébastien Girard essaie de répondre depuis 2011, date à laquelle il fait l’acquisition de 900 Polaroïds énigmatiques, édités en 2017 sous le nom My TV Girls. Cette série de captations télévisuelles légendées par son auteur met en scène des femmes et se termine par le seul et unique autoportrait de la série où Tom Wilkins, se représente en femme. | src ODLP ~ l’œil de la photographie

Visual dialogue · Tornadoes

Tornado near Jasper, Minnesota, July 8, 1927 taken by 15 year old Lucille Handberg | src Billy Parrot Collection (view on Fb)

Two theories: the second tornado snapshot (on the bottom) had a Canedy’s Camera Shop 1927 date stamp on the verso. Canedy’s was in South Dakota and sold local souvenir snapshots (Bad Lands, Black Hills, etc…) between the 1920s – 1940s. It is also probable that when 15-year old Lucille Handberg took this photo her neighbor, who was an engineer, recognized its importance and sent copies to scientists around the country and these could be two of those. text adapted from source : Billy Parrot
