The Enigma of Emmanuel Radnitzky (for Man Ray), 2020
Self-Portrait holding a sewing machine. An homage to a quote by the writer Lautreamont describing the Surrealist aesthetic, “As beautiful as the chance encounter of a sewing machine and an umbrella on an operating table.” The piece is suggested by Man Ray's The Enigma of Isidore Ducasse (L'Enigme d'Isidore Ducasse), 1920. Man Ray was Emmanuel Radintzky nom de plume.
