/“There was more surrealism rampant in Hollywood than all the surrealists could invent in a lifetime.”
-Man Ray
Experimenting with cinematic formality, Dada technique, and Surrealist imagery, the short films of avant-garde artist Man Ray would come to form the foundations of Cinéma pur. His looseness and artistic freedom challenge the audience to watch kinetic fragments and images with a more responsible, arguably more perceptive, eye.
