In other words, the camera was being used as a \"time machine,\" but not, as customary, to capture a present moment, but rather to look into the future. Until now, the circumstances surrounding this early instance of the \"staged photograph\" were unknown. This book includes a recently discovered script by Friedrich Kiesler, published here for the first time, in which Kiesler describes in full detail how he assisted his friend Duchamp in styling himself as a senile artist-philosopher for the lens of New York photographer Percy Rainford. The well-known Duchamp expert Herbert Molderings interprets Duchamp's self-portrait as an innovative, conceptual use of photography.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Walther Konig Verlag","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":47999667437719,"sku":"9783863353322","price":1770.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9783863353322.webp?v=1783601370","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/marcel-duchamp-at-the-age-of-85-an-incunabulum-of-conceptual-photography-9783863353322","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
