Mr Daguerre’s invention

THE PROPER WAY OF OPERATING

MR DAGUERRE’S INVENTION:
IN A SOLDIERLIKE MANNER:
. . . since everything takes place at a Market Stall, the Photographer has a special device for the Army: an I-will-change-into-a-machinegun Camera.”

 

Kantor, Tadeusz. Wielopole, Wielopole. Kraków-Wrocław: Wydawnictwo Literackie, 1990, p. 45.  

 

“My manipulations in connection with the object –  breaking its bonds and in-life relationships and leaving it without a comment – were parts of a special ritual. They resembled the act of “exhibiting” a ritualistic fetish. The difference was, however, that it was exhibited not “to be adored” but to be ridiculed by the general public.”
