images that haunt us
On December 1924 Francis Picabia asked Bronia to participate in a production, Ciné Sketch, that he and René Clair were putting on after the ballet on New Year’s Eve. Bronia agreed, and she and Marcel Duchamp appeared nude—Duchamp did have a strategically placed fig leaf—in a living tabloid of Lucas Cranach’s Adam and Eve, which Man Ray photographed. This photograph most probably belongs to that series.

Robert Disraeli :: Industrialization, ca. 1935 / src: The Guardian
Robert Disraeli, who is best known as a documentary photographer, created a small group of contrived images inspired by Surrealism. Here, industry is introduced as a meat grinder (appropriately, an “Enterprise” brand device) that spits out a stream of automobiles at the cost of the human body. All that remains to be consumed is a hand, fingers spread in a gesture of frightened but futile resistance. The stark shadow of the hand cast on the wall behind recalls cinematic murder scenes.
