@analgesicsleep "When the film was first exhibited, a man in the audience stood up to complain it was giving him a headache and hurting his eyes. Another man told him to shut up, and they both started to fight. The theatre turned into a frenzy, the fighting ended up out in the street, and the police were called in to stop the riot." - Wikipedia #EmakBakia #SilentFlickerSunday
Man Ray’s “Emak-Bakia”. LOTS OF STROBING. More statues. More eyes. Also, Pablo Picasso.
