Le Retour à La Raison is a short film by Man Ray. It was originaly mute (1923). I added sound.
"Le Retour à la raison was the first film to be made by Man Ray. The early segments of the film illustrates a technique which Man Ray pioneered in static photography, the rayograph (or photogramme). Here, an object is placed between a light source and photo-sensitive film, in contrast to traditional photography where photographic film captures light reflected off an object. He sprinkled salt and pepper on one piece of film, pins on another, illuminated the film for a few seconds, then developed the film. The film was first shown at the "Cœur à Barbe" evening at the Theater Michel in July 6th [1923]".
