(via billyjane, i12bent): By a strange coincidence Marcel Proust, Paul Eluard and Man Ray all died on November 18 - albeit in different years… Man Ray of course famously photographed Proust on his death bed, 1922 - above: “Ravaged by bronchitis and pneumonia, Marcel Proust spent the last night of his life dictating manuscript changes for a section of his famous novel Remembrance of Things Past. Man Ray did not know Proust, but he had become such an important photographer that mutual friends dispatched him to the celebrated French author’s bedside to make a final portrait two days after his death. The side view associates Man Ray’s photograph with a tradition of postmortem photography dating back to the inception of the medium.” (Source - The Getty)

Interiores de nossa infância como laboratórios para a representação de aparições fantasmas. Relações experimentais. O livro proibido. Ritmo da leitura: duas angústias, em níveis diferentes, apostam uma corrida. A estante com vidros abaulados de onde o livro proibido foi retirado. A vacinação por aparições fantasmas. O outro antídoto: as "imagens enganosas". < Hº, 18 >
