La Garoupe, une plage d'Antibes, en 1937. Le temps d'un été, le peintre et photographe Man Ray filme ses amis Pablo Picasso, Dora Maar, Paul Eluard et son épouse Nusch, ainsi que Lee Miller. Pendant ces quelques semaines, l'amour, l'amitié, la poésie, la photographie et la peinture se mélangent encore dans l'insouciance et la créativité propre aux mouvements artistiques de l'entre- deux guerres.

William Wegman: Video Work 1970-1999
1
From 1970-1977 William Wegman created some of the most innovative and important works in the history of video. These early pioneering tapes were created using minimal technology and a few studio props, including Wegman’s canine companion, Man Ray. Consisting of 130 works, some no longer than a television commercial, blurred the boundaries between high and low art as well as art and commerce, and have become a major chapter in the histories of contemporary art and film. This exhaustive compilation has been assembled by the artist with restored material and it contains all nine original reels as well as two later reels. Classics such as Pocketbook Man, Milk/Floor, Stomach Song, Cape On, Stick and Tooth, Spelling Lesson, Dog Duet, Man Ray, Do You Want to? Are included.
Dog Duet

Dog Duet

Jan 01, 1975
"In the piece we see the two dogs staring at the camera in a dark room. Their eyes are intently following something off camera. Sometimes their head movement is pull into the action as they crane to follow the whatever it is in various left right and up down directions. At one point the action seems to stop and the dogs begin to blink in syncopation. At this point Hooka settles down into a lying position but Man Ray remains riveted. Towards the end piece the dogs crane to look behind them and at one miraculous moment their motions counter each other. At the end we see the object of their attention…in my hand, a tennis ball."

Dadascope

Jan 01, 1961
Free-associative images are juxtaposed with disorienting poetry in Richter's late work. The film is visual dynamite: Upside-down and reversed footage, play with shadows and light, billiards and dice and balloons-- suggestive and surreal images. Tenets of Dada writing, such as games of chance, punnery, wordplay and loud nonsense noise are foist upon the viewer as Dada poems are read / performed by their orignal authors.

Deux femmes

A series of ten different shots illustrate a variety of lesbian activities. The images are filmed with an aesthetic interest that goes beyond their pornographic content. Despite being found in Man Ray’s collection it’s authorship is questioned and it is difficult to date the film. This film was found in the Parisian studio on Rue Férou by Man Ray's wife Juliet. The completion date could not be established. A little gem of pornographic film, Sapphic mode, coupled with a provocative irony.
