In 1921,Ray moved to paris and became associated with the parisian Dada and surrealist circles of artists and writers. His experiments with photography including rediscovering how to make "camera-less" pictures, which he caleld RAYOGRAPHS. 

JOAN FONTCUBERTA

 

The images shown have not been created with a camera. Instead, they are made from drops of blood deposited onto transparent glass slides which, when placed in the amplifier, creates a negative. The images are projected onto photographic paper, and are then printed and inverted, in order to be later converted into a positive.

The blood samples come from both friends of Fontcuberta and strangers, such that, in a way, each one of these photographs could be a portrait. In some sense, they allow casualty to come into play, they can associate each image with some attribute of the person to who they pertain. In this moment of his career Fontcuberta was interested more in essence than forms: "I marvel at, above all, the form without form, at the multiple readings that can be applied to these works." Joan Fontcuberta.
