Dust Breeding


Man Ray, Elvage de poussiere (Dust Breeding), 1920 

This photo, taken by Man Ray, shows a layer of dust that had been purposefully allowed to build up on the surface of Marcel Duchamp's unfinished piece 'Large Glass'.

(Curve templates, that Duchamp probably used while making large glass, can be seen at the bottom of this photo)
