While I was wandering around the Centro de Arte Reina Sofia a few weeks ago, I stumbled on one of Man Ray‘s Object to be Destroyed sculptures.. Although he’s best known for his surrealist photographs, I’ve been drawn to his work in other media since I discovered the works as a teenager. So I’ve been searching for some of the amazing films that he made in the 1920s. I hadn’t seen the film Emak Bakia (below) for years until I found it on the amazing website ubu.com which has most of Man Ray’s original film.
