Rayograph is term invented by Man Ray, in which he merged his name with the word “photograph” to describe his particular approach to the technique of making photograms. As old as photography itself, photograms are photographic prints made by placing objects and other elements on photosensitive paper and exposing it to light, without the use of a camera.

Le témoin is a small sculpture Man Ray had made in 1941 and executed again in 1971. It was constructed from a cardboard box that had contained Man Ray’s favourite sweets, Calissons d’Aix. The artist stuck a glass marble inside it: touching the corner of the box causes the eye to flinch as if it were witness to its surroundings.

Gilbert & George have created art together since 1967, when they met at Saint Martin’s School of Art in London and decided that their art should be understood as emerging from a single source. Theirs would be, in their words, ‘art for all’, in contrast to what they saw as the overly cerebral and elitist Minimalist and Conceptual work that was dominant at the time.
