Self-Portrait, Or What We All Lack
Man Ray / France / 1930 / Czech Premiere / 11 min.
synopsis
Assistant, lover, and muse Lee Miller is the main character of this film, which is one of the few that has been positively identified, because in 1930 Montparnasse magazine published a photo with the description that it is a shot from Man Ray’s upcoming film. This film references to his famous later artwork from 1935 – Porcelain Pipe with Bubble. In other words, this is the film version of the artwork, in which Miller discovers the phallic symbolism of Princesse X, which at the time caused a scandal.more about film
