Rayografía

Man Ray American
1923
On view at The Met Fifth Avenue in Gallery 199
En su búsqueda de ambigüedad surrealista, Man Ray privilegiaba la técnica del fotograma, un proceso sin cámara fotográfica consistente en colocar objetos directamente sobre un papel sensibilizado y exponerlos a la luz. Los fotogramas de Man Ray, llamados «rayografías» por su amigo Tristan Tzara, son únicos, irrepetibles y hasta cierto punto incontrolables. Este es uno de los más grandes; las formas incandescentes blancas flotando sobre un fondo turbio «pintado» con productos químicos líquidos son probablemente una metáfora de la creación.
