In other words, the camera was being used as a \"time machine,\" but not, as customary, to capture a present moment, but rather to look into the future. Until now, the circumstances surrounding this early instance of the \"staged photograph\" were unknown. This book includes a recently discovered script by Friedrich Kiesler, published here for the first time, in which Kiesler describes in full detail how he assisted his friend Duchamp in styling himself as a senile artist-philosopher for the lens of New York photographer Percy Rainford. The well-known Duchamp expert Herbert Molderings interprets Duchamp's self-portrait as an innovative, conceptual use of photography.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 144\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.5 x 7.6 x 5.1 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eIllustrated:\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e February 28, 2014\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Books by splitShops","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47468109725874,"sku":"9783863353322","price":32.35,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0770\/3891\/1666\/files\/6418ac0e0c5b3f8630cac8bebf2e4fac.webp?v=1779043632","url":"https:\/\/box.dadyminds.org\/products\/marcel-duchamp-at-the-age-of-85-an-incunabulum-of-conceptual-photography-paperback","provider":"DADYMINDS BOX","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
