Man Ray’s ‘Rayographs’ is a great depiction of the photogram darkroom process – his work uses surrealism to document his visions. He arranges objects and materials across the light-sensitive paper to create this silhouette imagery. The absence of detail allows the mind to wander and detach from the object’s original purpose, we as the viewer may not be able to recognise the original object, however, it allows our imagination to run wild and step into Man Ray’s visions.
