MAN RAY: Metáfora incidental

Featuring 160 works including rayographs, paintings, objects, prints, drawings, films, and photographs, the exhibition "Man Ray: When Objects Dream" highlights the fundamental role of rayography—a type of camera-less photography—in the context of many of the most important works by the innovative American artist based in France who transitioned from Dadaism to Surrealism. The retrospective of his endeavors, held at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York, was the first major exhibition to examine the revolutionary artist since his 1966 retrospective in California, focusing on one of his most significant contributions: rayography. Art critic Juan Carlos Flores Zúñiga offers a fresh perspective in the VLOG Ars Kriterion E-Zine No. 120-26, encouraging us to see beyond the orthodoxies of the artistic media that the artist so vehemently ignored. The audiovisual recording of this production was completed at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York on December 10, 2025, and its subsequent audiovisual production was handled by Orietta Oreamuno Gómez.
