“O que a fotografia reproduz no infinito aconteceu apenas uma vez: ela repete mecanicamente o que não poderá nunca mais se repetir existencialmente”.(Roland Barthes)

«Todo o filme é uma construção irreal do real e isto tanto mais quanto mais "real" o cinema parecer. Por paradoxal que seja! Todo o filme, como toda a obra humana, tem significados vários, podendo ser objecto de várias leituras. O filme, como toda a realidade, não tem um único significado, antes vários, conforme quem o tenta compreender. Tal compreensão depende da experiência de cada um. É do concurso de várias experiências, das várias leituras (dum filme ou, mais amplamente, do real) que permite ter deles uma compreensão ou percepção, de serem (tendencialmente) tal qual são. (Victor Nogueira - excerto do Boletim do Núcleo Juvenil de Cinema de Évora, Janeiro 1973

Man Ray

Man Ray, born Emmanuel Radnitzky (August 27, 1890 November 18, 1976), was an American artist who spent most of his career in Paris, France. Perhaps best described simply as a modernist, he was a significant contributor to both the Dada and Surrealist movements, although his ties to each were informal. Best known in the art world for his avant-garde photography, Man Ray produced major works in a variety of media and considered himself a painter above all. He was also a renowned fashion and portrait photographer. He is noted for his photograms, which he renamed "rayographs" after himself.

While appreciation for Man Ray's work beyond his fashion and portrait photography was slow in coming during his lifetime, especially in his native United States, his reputation has grown steadily in the decades since.

In 1999, ARTnews magazine named him one of the 25 most influential artists of the 20th century, citing his groundbreaking photography as well as "his explorations of film, painting, sculpture, collage, assemblage, and prototypes of what would eventually be called performance art and conceptual art" and saying "Man Ray offered artists in all media an example of a creative intelligence that, in its 'pursuit of pleasure and liberty,'"—Man Ray's stated guiding principles—"unlocked every door it came to and walked freely where it would."
