Pierre Jahan French, 1909-2003
Photographie de l'incendie de l'appartement , 1948
Photographie
29 x 24 cm
One of only a few existing photos, developped at the time.
This photograph immortalizes the studio fire of november 1948, in which part of Jahan's photos caught fire in an act of fate. The snapshot itself, a photo of a photo, presents an interesting mise en abîme : both aesthetic experiment and reportage.
